Drawing a Line

Use the Graphics Editor Line tool to draw a straight line, that is, a line between two points.

You can set stroke, style and width properties to change the line color, pattern and thickness.

You draw a line when you want to draw an extending one-dimensional figure that has no curvature.

To draw a line:

1. In Graphics Editor, in the Layers pane, select the layer where you want to draw the line.
2. On the Drawing toolbar, click Line.
3. In the work area, click where you want the line to start and drag to where you want it to end.
4. On the Drawing toolbar, click Select.
5. In the Properties pane, in the Name box, type the name of the line.

NOTE: You only need to name the drawing object if you will be binding the object. Naming the object now will help you identify the object later.

6. On the Options toolbar, or in the Properties pane, adjust the appearance of the line.
7. On the File menu, click Save.
