Hi,
 I have two questions.
1) I have drawn a line segment (using the line tool) and now wish to
change the **length** of the line segment, without changing the angle
it makes with another (fixed) line segment. I could just click and drag
but that would not be precise - is there any way i can type in the new
length? (Apart from deleting it and creating a new one)

2) I have two line segments which intersect at a point A. Is there
anyway that illustrator can tell me the angle that these two line
segments make at A?

Thank you in advance
Saptarshi
