Thanks for that neat idea. Works great! Heres a quick little macro that makes it even easier to use... // Production_Milling 11.5 Windows 10/16/98 16:52:40 Macro File // w:\mcl\LEN.mcl // CREATED: 06/14/00 // // Here is a technique that works well. Use Geo_Edit/Split. Set the panel // up as follows, Distance Along = 0, From = Mouse, Gap Width = twice the // amount of length change. Use a positive Gap Width for a shorter line and // use a negative Gap Width for a longer line. Select the line at the end // you wish to change. The line will extend or shorten by 1/2 of the Gap Width. // This also works for other types of elements. I hope this is of some help. // // VAR_REMOVE_ALL[] // PROMPT[TX="Enter 0 to lengthen or shorten Element from the Start\n Enter 1 to lengthen or shorten Element from the End" , SC=50, VN="FR", DV=1] // #EL = SEQEL()// determines the current selected insert element number // SPLIT[EL="#EL", LC=2, GW=-#LEN*2, LN=.5, DS=0, FR="#FR"]

Use Geo_Edit/Split. Set the panel up as follows, Distance Along = 0, From = Mouse, Gap Width = twice the amount of length change. Use a positive Gap Width for a shorter line and use a negative Gap Width for a longer line. Select the line at the end you wish to change. The line will extend or shorten by 1/2 of the Gap Width. This also works for other types of elements. I hope this is of some help.
