Drawing Tools: Line

The Line option allows the user to add a line between any two points on a view. To add a Line:

1. Select Line from the toolbar or the Add Tool sub-menu of the Tools menu.

2. Enter the first point graphically with the mouse, or enter x-y coordinates in the prompt line. NOTE: the Vertex Snap and Grid Snap options are available in the right-click menu, if you want to snap exactly to certain coordinates.

3. As you move the mouse, a line will connect the first point to the current cursor location.

4. Enter the second point graphically with the mouse, or enter x-y coordinates in the prompt line, and the Line will be added to the view.

After a Line has been added, it can be deleted, moved, re-sized or formatted. See the Move, Re-size, Format topic for details.
