How to draw parallel lines to measure distances?

davina

Hello, I am trying to draw parallel lines to measure the ratio of vessel wall:lumen, is there a way to draw parallel lines to measure the two lines? I know there's a perpendicular line tool but was just wondering of any other methods.

Thank you,

Hi Davina,

You can hold down Ctrl key drawing  line and it will be snapped to fixed angles .

There are also multiple Relative tools on Measure tab, which could be used to create shortest distance lines between points and a line (all derived lines will be parallel).
