Hip tip: M2P (Middle of 2 Points)

Hello dear readers;

I see that our hit count has been on the rise, and it seems since all the visitors are AutoCAD users and about %70 earn from AutoCAD, I realise we could make use of tips apart from command explanations. Speed is important for us and this will help increase our speed.

M2p is a parameter that helps to find the mid-point of a line joining two points (hence the acronym m2p) . I don’t understand anything from this definiton neither, so lets try to understand using an example. Lets have two paralell lines 10 units apart. Then activate the lin command once more and type m2p;

Command:_line
LINE Specify first point: m2p (type m2p right after the line command)
First point of mid: Second point of mid: (click on the left and right lines)
Specify next point or [Undo]: (notice that the new line starts from the middle of the space between the lines)

Fig.1 We constructed a line 5 units apart from both red lines using the m2p command.

The best part is that, you can use this parameter not only with the line command but also with copy, pline, mirror, move and other editing commands.
