1, Use Construction Line command
On Draw toolbar, click the Construction Line button and enter B to select the Bisect option. Then follow the prompt to select the vertex and two sides of the angle. Now you can get the bisector.
Command: _xline Specify a point or [Hor/Ver/Ang/Bisect/Offset]: B
Specify angle vertex point:
Specify angle start point:
Specify angle end point:
Specify angle end point:
2, Use Dimension command
Firstly is to make an angular dimension for the angle. Then click the Line button on Draw toolbar and select the vertex point as first point of the line. Another point of the line is located at the midpoint of the dimension arc. Now the bisector is available and the angular dimension could be deleted.
zwcad autocad midpoint bisect angle
3, Use Circle command
Firstly draw an accessorial circle using the angular vertex as centre to intersect with two sides of the angle. Then trim the arc outside the two sides. After that, draw a line with the angular vertex as starting point, and the midpoint of the arc as another point. Now the bisector comes out.

Thanks, donkeykid ;),
I'll try this. Though I like the 'Const Line' method, too.
I think there's also a way using 'cal (transparent 'calculator' command), but I can't remember it. The 'cal command for 'mid 2 points' was also very awkward to use in Autocad, so I gave it up. Now of course, Autocad has the 'mid 2 points' snap.
Maybe it can be integrated into ZwCad if it works well and there's no problem. Actually, it should be easy enough (for us) to put on the right-click menu - using the 'customise' command.
