Tuesday 30th July 2024 There is not ready to use feature to create such a tangent. So you need to create a macro to do the calculations for you. The basic steps for such a macro are: - read out center and radius of the two circles, - mathematical calculation of the tangent, that is a typical math question in geometry classes and not really difficult, - create a path with the two calculated points.
