The parallel option is internally setting the sketch direction constraint to the direction of the segment you clicked on (polygons segments are ordered clockwise). When the distant option is chosen, its using that direction constraint rather than the relative mouse location to determine the next sketch segment.</P><P>Good find, we'll get it fixed.</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 30 Nov 2017 19:06:05 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/what-is-arcgis-pro-s-logic-for-drawing-a-parallel/m-p/429233#M19032 Anonymous User 2017-11-30T19:06:05Z Re: What is ArcGIS Pro's Logic for Drawing a Parallel Line at a Specific Distance? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/what-is-arcgis-pro-s-logic-for-drawing-a-parallel/m-p/429234#M19033 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Fixed for Pro 2.2, it was too late for 2.1 (soon)</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Dec 2017 21:09:49 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/what-is-arcgis-pro-s-logic-for-drawing-a-parallel/m-p/429234#M19033 Anonymous User 2017-12-20T21:09:49Z Re: What is ArcGIS Pro's Logic for Drawing a Parallel Line at a Specific Distance? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/what-is-arcgis-pro-s-logic-for-drawing-a-parallel/m-p/429235#M19034 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Fantastic to hear, thank you.</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 20 Dec 2017 21:18:25 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/what-is-arcgis-pro-s-logic-for-drawing-a-parallel/m-p/429235#M19034 CheyneHadley 2017-12-20T21:18:25Z Re: What is ArcGIS Pro's Logic for Drawing a Parallel Line at a Specific Distance? https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/what-is-arcgis-pro-s-logic-for-drawing-a-parallel/m-p/1334620#M73650 <P>How do you constrain a line parallel to another segment of the feature you are creating?</P> Tue, 03 Oct 2023 16:57:54 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/what-is-arcgis-pro-s-logic-for-drawing-a-parallel/m-p/1334620#M73650 JMcCoy 2023-10-03T16:57:54Z
