\r\n I just loaded V6 2D on my computer.
\r\n
\r\n I was just practicing drawing lines and circles as well as dim`s.
\r\n Easy to do and accurate with no problems, but when I try to draw a line
\r\n across the tangent points of two different size circles I can`t seem to do it.
\r\n
\r\n Is this hard to do? The tutorial does not (can`t find this problem ) cover this directly.

\r\n Thanks, weddleton\r\n

      Question Draw line tangent from small circle to large circle

      I just loaded V6 2D on my computer.

      I was just practicing drawing lines and circles as well as dim`s.
      Easy to do and accurate with no problems, but when I try to draw a line
      across the tangent points of two different size circles I can`t seem to do it.

      Is this hard to do? The tutorial does not (can`t find this problem ) cover this directly.

      Thanks, weddleton
