Drawing a Polyline

Use the Graphics Editor Polyline tool to draw a line with several nodes, that is, a line with angles.

You can set fill, stroke, style and line width to achieve a certain appearance of the polyline.

You draw a polyline to get a figure that consists of two or more connected line segments.

To draw a polyline:

1. In Graphics Editor, in the Layers pane, select the layer where you want to draw the polyline.
2. On the Drawing toolbar, click Polyline.
3. In the work area, drag from where you want the polyline to start and click for each new line segment you want to add.

NOTE: You have to add a new segment for every turn of the polyline.

4. Double-click to finish the polyline.
5. On the Drawing toolbar, click Select.
6. In the Properties pane, in the Name box, type the name of the polyline.

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.

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