Line
The
Line
tool creates a line that extends infinitely in both directions through a point at a specified
slope. The slope can be specified in free space or defined by a second point.
Note
:
You can constrain the slope to 15-degree increments by pressing the
SHIFT
key when
creating or modifying a line.
Creating a line
1.
Select
Line
from the
Lines

Modifying a line
Translate a line without changing the slope by selecting
the
Pointer

Pointer
toolbox. Then using the
Pointer
:
4
For a line constructed with a
single point
, drag
the point.
4
For a line constructed with two
basic
points, grab
the line away from the points, and drag.
Note:
A line constructed with at least one
dependent
point (a point attached to another object) cannot be
moved using the
Pointer
without changing the slope.
