To draw a parallel line, start drawing a straight line (left). Next, move the pointer over the
edge of a straight line segment (middle). Finally, move the pointer back until a parallel dynamic
guide appears, and drag along the guide until the parallel line is the length you want (right).
With the help of parallel dynamic guides, you can use the 3-point rectangle tool to draw rectangles that are parallel to straight
line segments.
To position an object at the intersection of dynamic guides
1 With dynamic guides enabled, select an object.
If you want to move the object by a specific snap point, move the pointer over the snap point until the point becomes highlighted.
2 Drag the object to an eligible snap point on another object, and continue to drag until a dynamic guide appears.
Don’t release the mouse button.
3 Drag the object to another eligible snap point, and don’t release the mouse button.
4 When the snap point becomes highlighted, continue to drag until another dynamic guide appears where the two dynamic guides would
intersect.
5 When the intersection point appears, release the mouse button.
