How far along an angled line from one point you go to be level with another (the same Y).
Syntax
POLARDISTANCEY(p,angle,q)
| Argument | Meaning |
|---|---|
| p | The position the line starts at. |
| angle | The line's angle, in degrees. |
| q | The position to be in line with. |
Result
A distance along the line.
Examples

POLARDISTANCEY(P0,45,[30,30]) |

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

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