Hi :)
No, I am referring to a new problem! see the message I replied to! (message 10300.32 )
And yes! I understand ultra zoom may not be reliable. However I interpret the tiny gap between two tangent lines/curves as a sign of having tangent - in ultra zooms-

Hi Drillbit,
I understand. Sorry about the distraction....

Hi Psygorn,

How about this - mirror green circle around magenta line, you can then use Circle or Arc tangent command, with the 2 green curves as the first tangent objects and third pick either snapping to Point_1 or getting a third tangent to the red line will work like this:

Oh wooow! Love that Genius method of yours :)
Again I would be happy to see it built in, is it possible? (No need to say I love your Genius method! :)
From: Psygorn (DRILLBIT)
Hi, and tanx :)
But Michael already solved the problem! :)
From: Michael Gibson
Hi Psygorn, I'm glad that method works for you!
How would you be expecting this one to work as a "built in" option?

seems number of Pi! :)

Hi and thank you.
I meant it would be good if I could draw a curve and then have it tangent to both the desired point of the line and the circle.
I love those tricks- mirroring the circle and then draw the Circle Tan- however, I think if there was a method with which user/s could create such curve without applying those tricks that would be awesome. :)

Yes! I would like to know from where BurrMan took that number?
suspiciously resembling Pi!

We've been drawing circles!

Well, better than walking in circles! ;-}

It's not really good for something that is used very rarely to have a special command for it because that's how the UI gets very bloated and unwieldy over time.
So it would need to fit in to an existing command. Currently I think it might be problematic to try and fit this into the regular circle/arc tangent command because there isn't currently a way in the command to specify tangent to a curve and also through a point on the same curve.
