### f28 Create 3D line tangent to arc or curve

Description
Creates a line with specified start position ending in the position of tangency with a specified arc or curve. An integer alternative may be specified to select the right end position when there is more than one position of tangency available.
The new line will always be created in the XY-plane of the currently active coordinate system. If the position or the old arc or curve is not in the XY-plane of the currently active coordinate system they will first be projected onto the XY-plane. The new line will then be created using the projected position and arc or curve.
Available in
3D.
