Draw a line
Create one straight segment with pointer input or entered coordinates and dimensions.
Choose Line in Add Objects or press L. The Tool Guide shows the current start and end information. Length inputs use the project’s selected measurement format.
Place the endpoints
Click the start point, move the pointer and click the end point. You can also press at the start, drag and release at the end. Check snap feedback before placing each point.
Choose how to enter dimensions
The guide’s Entry Mode choices are Start + End, Length + Angle and Relative ΔX, ΔY. Use coordinate fields for endpoints, or enter length/angle or relative offsets. In endpoint mode, Length and Angle are calculated readouts.
Keep the next segment connected
Enable Chain segments when you want the next line to start from the previous endpoint. This creates connected line segments; choose Polyline when you want one multi-point path.
Apply or cancel
A valid pair of distinct points or a valid positive length enables Apply in the guide. Use the completed pointer gesture or Apply for the chosen entry method. Esc cancels the in-progress step; Undo reverses a completed line.
