Do you mean you can not select an oblique line in my step 3?

This is unusual.

Does it happen to a particular drawing or for a new drawing from scratch?

Is this a weird bug happens happen to a particular platform? What's your platform? Did you test this issue on other computers?

Another thought, "draw parallel" can be done alternatively:

1. "Copy/Paste": Select entity, Ctl-C/Ctl-V, following the mouse tips to select reference points;
2. Modify -> "Copy/Move"
3. If for straight lines: Modify -> Mirror
4. or fancy: using two rotation to get a move: for example:
rotate around 0, 0 for 60 deg
rotate around 10<60 for -60 deg
and after these two steps, the line is moved by 10<120

Tried all that – only works on horizontal lines  As with “parallel”. In both cases the obliquely drawn line does not appear to be selected. Is there a protocol that I am missing?
