The Create Line From End Of Object command lets you draw a line tangent to the end of a
line or arc of your choosing. Most commonly, you’ll use this tool when re-creating deeds or
other survey work where you have to specify a line that continues a tangent from an arc (see
Figure 1.27).

The Create Line Tangent from Point command is similar to the Create Line From End Of Object
command, but Create Line Tangent From Point allows you to choose a point of tangency that
isn’t the endpoint of the line or arc (see Figure 1.28).

Using the Create Line Perpendicular From Point command, you can specify that you’d like a line
drawn perpendicular to any point of your choosing. In the example shown in Figure 1.29, a line
is drawn perpendicular to the endpoint of the arc. This command can be useful when the distance
from a known monument perpendicular to a legally platted line must be labeled in a drawing.
