    Is it Impossible to extend a diagonal line in Bobcad?

    I'm trying to extend a line that's diagonal and I can't find an option to do so. Any tips on how to do this?

    Use trim and extend function.
    Place a point where you want the line to extend to.

    You can also do it by hitting "Trim Extend," "Trim Screen" and just selecting your line then click the screen where you want it to go.

    I want to say thanks for this. This has been very useful since I tried it. Especially for reworking existing drawings.


    Thanks again.
