Draw a line segment relative to the current origin using the polar measure of some angle and distance.

```kcl
angledLine(
  @sketch: Sketch,
  angle: number,
  length?: number,
  lengthX?: number,
  lengthY?: number,
  endAbsoluteX?: number,
  endAbsoluteY?: number,
  tag?: TagDeclarator,
): Sketch
```



### Arguments

| Name | Type | Description | Required |
|----------|------|-------------|----------|
| `sketch` | [`Sketch`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-Sketch) | Which sketch should this path be added to? | Yes |
| `angle` | [`number`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number) | Which angle should the line be drawn at? | Yes |
| `length` | [`number`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number) | Draw the line this distance along the given angle. Only one of `length`, `lengthX`, `lengthY`, `endAbsoluteX`, `endAbsoluteY` can be given. | No |
| `lengthX` | [`number`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number) | Draw the line this distance along the X axis. Only one of `length`, `lengthX`, `lengthY`, `endAbsoluteX`, `endAbsoluteY` can be given. | No |
| `lengthY` | [`number`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number) | Draw the line this distance along the Y axis. Only one of `length`, `lengthX`, `lengthY`, `endAbsoluteX`, `endAbsoluteY` can be given. | No |
| `endAbsoluteX` | [`number`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number) | Draw the line along the given angle until it reaches this point along the X axis. Only one of `length`, `lengthX`, `lengthY`, `endAbsoluteX`, `endAbsoluteY` can be given. | No |
| `endAbsoluteY` | [`number`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-number) | Draw the line along the given angle until it reaches this point along the Y axis. Only one of `length`, `lengthX`, `lengthY`, `endAbsoluteX`, `endAbsoluteY` can be given. | No |
| [`tag`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-tag) | [`TagDeclarator`](/docs/kcl-lang/types#TagDeclarator) | Create a new tag which refers to this line | No |

### Returns

[`Sketch`](/docs/kcl-std/types/std-types-Sketch) - A sketch is a collection of paths.


### Examples

```kcl
exampleSketch = startSketchOn(XZ)
  |> startProfile(at = [0, 0])
  |> yLine(endAbsolute = 15)
  |> angledLine(angle = 30, length = 15)
  |> line(end = [8, -10])
  |> yLine(endAbsolute = 0)
  |> close()

example = extrude(exampleSketch, length = 10)
```
