The correct step to construct a parallel line to a given line through a point not on the line is:
With the pointed tip of your compass on a point on the given line, draw an arc that extends both above and below the given line.
This method allows you to create two intersections with the original line, which can then be used to ensure the new line will be parallel to the original line when you transfer the measurements to the point not on the line.
