Guest Cameron Posted November 15, 2019 Im sure there is a way but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to create shapes and use angles to get the shape aligned correctly. For example i need to make a Rhombus with a 45* and at a size of 17mm high by 150mm long. Any one have any pointers or ideas how I can do this. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darcshadow 1,626 Posted November 18, 2019 I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. a Rhombus with a 45 angle at 17mm high will only be 41mm wide. If you're just wanting a diamond shape that is 17x150 you can start with a square, rotate it 45 degrees then stretch it to 17 x 150. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShaneGreen 131 Posted November 20, 2019 I can make one the right size based on length and width, but can't seem to figure it out by angle. >Side menu select "General Power Shapes" > Polygon > then drag one onto your page >switch to object mode? the single arrow in the upper left of the menu that lets you select an object. > select the polygon > your upper menu now shows the polygon tools > change "points" to 4 > next to the width and height turn off the padlock, turning off "proportional" > now you can manually stretch the polygon or enter your dimensions in the width and height Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
