Syntax
POLARDISTANCEX(p,angle,q)

| p | The position the line starts at. |
| angle | The line's angle, in degrees. |

| Expression | Gives |

POLAR(P0,60,POLARDISTANCEX(P0,60,P2)) |

Notes
The Angle snap mode writes it when the new point lines up with another (the same X). A line that never gets there (straight up) gives the largest distance it allows.
