Adding a Line

To add a line to the plan view:

1.   Click Plan to switch to the plan view.

2.   Click Add Line.

3.   Click to add the line start point.

4.   Click again to add the line end point. Hold Shift to constrain to a horizontal, vertical or 45 degree line. Press Enter to enter the angle and distance manually. Press Esc to cancel. Hold Ctrl while clicking to finish the current line and begin adding a new one.

Tips:

•      The above steps are only used when adding the line. Once the line has been added, you can edit it like any other shape. This includes moving points, adding & deleting points, and so forth. See Editing Points for more information.

•      This and other plan detail can only be added and edited in the plan view. See Adding Plan Detail for more information about plan detail objects.

•      Make sure grid-snap is enabled, or it will be difficult to draw the line using exact dimensions. See Snap Settings for more information.
