Thanks a lot, that is a nice gimmick that I did not realize! And it worked!
Related (although not exactly same topic), seems like this way it also changes the angle of the upper bar a bit (supposed to be 45 deg). Is there a quick way to set it again? I now tried selecting the two lines, I can see in the measurements that it is now 52 deg, need to go back to 45. I realized I could do this in the body using the approach described here, but a faster and more direct approach would be appreciated.
Can I somehow simply change the angle (in this case back to 45 deg)?
