Ok the way to do is depends on the yellow lines simplest is pick 2 points, get the angle add pi / 2 and subtract pi / 2 for the end angle then draw a line.

 

If its a pline can do automatically.

 

I only dabble in VBA but use this as a guide in lisp convert it to VBA, also why VBA ?

 

(defun c:test ( / dist pt1 pt2 pt3 pt4 )
(setvar 'osmode 1)
(setq dist 10)
(setq pt1 (getpoint "\nPick point 1 "))
(setq pt2 (getpoint "\nPick point 2 "))
(setq ang (angle pt1 pt2))
(setq pt3 (polar pt1 (+ ang (/ pi 2)) dist))
(setq pt4 (polar pt2 (+ ang (/ pi 2)) dist))
(command "line" pt1 pt3 "")
(command "line" pt2 pt4 "")
(princ)
)
(c:test)

This is just a start need a while added for more point picks.
