XLINE Command

Creates an infinite line

	Draw toolbar:
	Draw menu: Construction Line
	Command line: xline

Hor / Ver / Ang / Bisect / Offset / <From point>: Specify a point or enter an option

Specifies the location of the infinite line using a second point through which it passes.

Through point: Specify the point (2) through which you want the xline to pass or press ENTER to end the command

AutoCAD LT places the xline through the specified points.

Hor (XLINE)

Creates a horizontal xline passing through a selected point.

Through point: Specify the point (1) through which you want the xline to pass or press ENTER to end the command

AutoCAD LT places the xline parallel to the X axis.

Ver (XLINE)

Creates a vertical xline passing through a selected point.

Through point: Specify the point (1) through which you want the xline to pass or press ENTER to end the command

AutoCAD LT places the xline parallel to the Y axis.

Ang (XLINE)

Creates an xline at a specified angle.

Reference / <enter angle <current>: Specify an angle or enter r

Reference

Creates an xline at a specific angle from a selected reference line. The angle is measured counterclockwise from the reference line.

Select a line object: Select a line, polyline, ray, or xline
Enter angle <0.000>: Specify an angle
Through point: Specify the point through which you want to xline to pass or press ENTER to end the command

AutoCAD LT places the xline through the specified point, using the specified angle.

Enter Angle

Creates an xline at a specific angle through a specified point.

Through point: Specify a point

AutoCAD LT places an xline through the point, using the specified angle.

Bisect (XLINE)

Creates an xline that passes through the selected angle vertex and bisects the angle between the first and second line.

Angle vertex point: Specify a point (1)
Angle start point: Specify a point (2)
Angle end point: Specify a point (3) or press ENTER to end the command

The xline lies in the plane determined by the three points.

Offset (XLINE)

Creates an xline parallel to another object.

Offset distance or Through <current>: Specify an offset distance, enter t, or press ENTER

Offset Distance

Creates the xline as an offset from the selected object.

Select a line object: Select a line, polyline, ray, or xline, or press ENTER to end the command
Side to offset?: Specify a point (1)

Through

Creates an xline parallel to a line object and passing through a specified point.

Select a line object: Select a line, polyline, ray, or xline, or press ENTER to end the command
Through point: Specify the point (1) through which you want the xline to pass
