But then autocad constrains suck, truly parametric cads do this easier than the snapping option. Optimizing for drawing does not really optimize the entire design iteration. Anyway i think you can do this with a compass and ruler too 45 degrees come in mind. | |

NMECH pointed out the 3 point circle with the third point being perpendicular snap option which is far easier than constraints. I know I can find the point mathematically, but I was curious if there was a way to do it from first principals. IE if you only had a straight edge and a compass. (Straight lines and circles) | |
