Question
How may I draw a straight line in linear degrees. If that isn't possible then explain how I may offset a circle using linear degrees.
Crisy:
In AutoCAD, offsets can be done by distance, and by one other thing that might help you. You can offset through a point. If you can find a point that you want your circle to cross, then use the Through point option of the offset command. Linear degrees are not an automated option or function of AutoCAD or the OFFSET command.

Expertise
I can address all 2-D questions and some 3-D questions. I do programming in AutoLISP if it doesn`t involve solid modeling. I can also address menu customization issues and can help you find answers to questions I can`t answer by taking your question directly to Autodesk via their newsgroups.
Experience
I used to do electronic and mechanical design for a flat panel monitor manufacturer, and now I do architectural drafting for an architect. I did and do AutoLISP and menu customization and take pride in making my lisp routines to do the work exactly the way the client likes them done.
Publications
I had a routine published in CADENCE magazine (no longer in publication and taken over by CADALYST). Some of my routines are published on my website at http://my.sterling.net/~bdeshawn
