Please Help!!
Which tool should I Use in order to Make Correct ANGLES for my Parallel Shape? In X7
I tried to rotate the lines with the "Angle of Rotation" on the Property bar, and also tried the "Angular Dimension Tool" on the toolbar. But each shows me different dimensions...
How should I build this parallel shape?
can someone tell me step by step, please? I've never done a shape with angular degrees dimensions...
Thank you.

Guideline could be rotated +31,6° in counter clockwise direction or 148,4° in clockwise direction
Circle 110 mm define all points that have same distance to centre – 55 mm
Agree too complicated way.
1. draw horizontal line 55 mm
2. rotate it –148,4°
3. duplicate line
4. move duplicated line (+110 on x value on property bar)
5. draw horizontal lines

First of all, you're using CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, it's a Graphic Design software, and it was made for this purpose. This is a very specific request, I never seen something similar on more than 20 years of use. Then, it's almost impossible to develop a tool for each specific situation. Anyway, if you need some precise tools, there're other options such as CorelDRAW Technical Suite or CorelCAD
Ok thank you. But The very confusing thing here is that in the Property Bar the size of the 2 sides (55mm) of the "rotated horizontal lines does not remain as (55mm). CorelDraw changes these sizes of the Lines when they get rotated. They should fix this in my opinion.

That can be confusing until one understands how CorelDraw is doing things.
The dimensions shown in the Property Bar are for the "bounding box" - the smallest horizontal/vertical rectangle that contains the object.
If you want to see the "unrotated" height and width of an object that is rotated, then you can use the Object Coordinates Docker.
