      <p class="para_topic">There are two methods of specifying the cut angle: selecting an existing line or entering an angular value. To select an existing line, activate the Cut Angle button. The system determines the angle of the line based on the location of the cursor relative to the line's midpoint. For example, selecting an axial line can yield a cut angle of either zero or 180 degrees based on the position of the cursor when you select the line.</p>

      <p class="para_topic">When you specify the line by entering its name, the angle of the line is based on the direction in which it was created.</p>
