How to delete a specified length from any position of a line (autocad) [Copy link]

I need to make a template when drawing a PCB, but I have no choice but to use AutoCAD, so I taught myself CAD, but I am not smart enough and have too many problems. Can anyone who is familiar with CAD help me and recommend a textbook or tell me how to solve my problem? For example:

A diagonal line, starting from 2mm at the end point to 2mm at the end point, delete the middle part

"A slash line, starting from 2mm at the end point to 2mm at the end point, delete the middle part"

Method 1: In AutoCAD, you can use the interruption method, but it is not accurate to the size and needs to be repaired with the help of blue grips.

Method 2: Draw directly with line segments, if you need an angle, use polar tracking

If you find it troublesome, just draw horizontally, then select two sections and rotate them by an angle. There are many ways to do this.

Draw a circle with a specified radius using the two endpoints as the center. Draw a line segment from the two endpoints to the two foci. Delete the original line segment and the two circles.
