  1. On the Draw toolbar, select Line/Arc Continuous Command Line/Arc Continuous or Line, depending on the application you are using to open the Line Ribbon.

  2. Select the point where you want the line to begin.

  3. Select the point where you want the line to end. This action defines the length and rotation angle of the line.

  4. Right-click to end the line or press ESC.

To draw a series of connected lines, select at the point where you want each line segment to end, and then right-click.

If you close the shape, the command restarts so you begin drawing again.

  • Instead of selecting to draw the end points, you can type values on the ribbon bar. You can also use a combination of graphic and ribbon input.

  • Instead of selecting several different points to draw a line, you can drag the pointer to draw a line.

  • If Maintain Relationships is set, the software places relationship handles. You can use relationships to make an end point of a line tangent or perpendicular to the key point or end point of another element.

  • When you use Point On in the SmartSketch dialog, you can draw a line tangent to two curved elements. First, select the curved element, then move the pointer through the tangent intent zone on the first element. Use the SmartSketch dialog options to establish a tangent relationship to the other element. If you do not use the tangent intent zone, the line connects to the elements, but is not tangent to them.
