Custom Constrain Angles

[Uyacan]

I need to draw lines every 10 degrees.
I tried to use the Smart Guides preferences, but it only let me use 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 degrees.
Tried to use the Line Tool holding Alt key for click, but then I need to specify angle AND distance. I need free distance at the specific angles.

I think AutoCAD has the tool I need. Is there any way of doing it on Ai?

Tnx a lot.

I am not sure if I undertand what you want but what if you draw a vertical line and then aply transform efect like this example?

[Bill Silbert]

Have you tried using the Transform Each dialog (Object>Transform>Transform Each)?

You can set up a series of transformations for a selected line or object—including distance and angle—and then click on Copy. It will make one copy to your specifications but if before deselecting you continuously use the keyboard shortcut Command (Mac)/Control (PC)-d then it will repeat the transform as many times as you need.

Thank you guys!
I think I've not explained myself good enough.
I want to use the Pen Tool. I click for the first point. The second point need to be in a direction multiple of 10º.
I need all the segments to be in round angles.

I need all the black lines to be in round angles. Got it?
But I need a quick way to do it... cause there are seeeeeveral files do correct.
Its hard to explain. Sorry if I can't.
Tnx for your effort.

You could take a look at the plugin InkScribe.

I don't entirely understand what you're trying to do, but if you want to make lines from your polygonal shape at certain angles you could use the line tool instead of the pen tool. First make sure Snap to Point is turned on under the View menu. When you draw your line out from a point on the shape, hold down Shift to constrain it to multiples of 45°. You can use Shift to make sure you're starting out at 0°. Then use the Transform panel to enter the angle and make sure the registration point is set to the corner.

But then you also said you needed round angles which is something completely different. If that's what you want, go to Effect > Stylize > Round Corners... and set the amount.

Xtreme path plugin  by CValley has a multi line tool, you can set the snap angles, eg to 10's
