    MCX Design

    Can someone show me the correct way to use the snap tool (tangent)

    I have two circles 1.5" , 3" diameter and 3" in between, I need to create a packet by drawing lines (tangent) that connect the two circles.

    I can not get the end point of the line to be tangent to the second circle.

    Please can someone show the steps?????

    Sorry If I couldn't explain it better I'm very frustrated.

    Thank you in advance

    Jorge
