Draw a polyline

Create a connected path from straight segments or place a preset outline.

Choose Polyline in Add Objects. A polyline keeps successive segments in one path. Its guide includes point coordinates, Total Length, Point Count and Closed Path.

1

Place a custom path

Choose the custom/free-drawing option. Click the first point and continue clicking to add corners. Double-click the final point or press Enter to finish. Backspace removes the last in-progress point; Esc cancels the current drawing.

2

Close the path when needed

Enable Closed Path when the path should connect its last point to its first. Check the preview before finishing. An open polyline and a closed outline are different results.

3

Use a shape preset

The preset choices include rectangle, rounded, oval, kidney, L-, T- and U-shaped outlines. Select a preset and enter the dimensions it exposes, such as Width, Depth, Corner Radius or wing dimensions. The preset follows the pointer for placement on the canvas.

4

Edit the current point list

Use the point-list fields to inspect or change the active path’s coordinates. Total Length and Point Count are readouts. Complete a custom path with Enter, double-click or its enabled guide action; preset placement uses the canvas preview rather than a separate Apply step.
