That is why I am writing the board. My problem seems to be that geometry tool only allows for me to make precise lengths with the entire area that the line consumes, and not the individual pieces of the line. If I could figure out how to manipulate the individual lengths of the lines, it wouldn't be a problem.

In the above diagram, you will see a line segment that has a start and end point. However, via the geometry tool, I can only modify the entire box. Not the length of the start and end point to the corner.
Thanks for responding and helping me learn the program.
