Creating a Help Line Parallel to a Major Axis

Create a help line parallel to an axis through a specified point.

\haxis

Two forms of this command are available. You can draw a single help line in the middle of other operations, or set up a series of help lines as a basis for further work.

Single Help Lines

Create a single help line by pressing Alt+x, y or z or typing \hxnst, \hynst or \hznst. Define the point through which the help line is to be drawn. After the help line is created, you return to your previous command.

Multiple Help Lines

If you wish to create several help lines, activate the \haxis command via the menus or type \haxis and specify the X, Y or Z axis. Define the point through which the help line is to be drawn.
