Line

The Line tool lets you draw straight lines and multi-point (polyline) lines.

C	Choose the Line tool

How to draw

1. Choose the Line (C) tool from the toolbar.
2. Single segment: drag from one point to another.
3. Multi-point line: click to add points; each click creates a new vertex. To finish, double-click or press Enter or Esc.
4. Hold Shift while drawing to snap angles to 15° increments.

Selection bar

When you draw a line and select it, a selection bar appears above it. For lines, these controls are available:

• Stroke color: click the color swatch and pick a preset color or enter a custom color.
• Stroke width: thin, medium, or thick.
• Stroke style: solid, dashed, dotted.
• Drawing style: Clean, Sketch, or Scribble. Styles other than Clean also show a bowing control.
• Multi-point shape: on a multi-point line, the bar also has a line shape picker (straight or curved multi-point).
• Opacity: adjust the opacity with the slider.
• Layer order: bring to front or send to back.
• Duplicate / Delete.

Note: Lines have no fill or corner controls.

Tips

• You can select an existing multi-point line with the Select tool and edit its points.
• For connectors whose ends attach to shapes, see the Arrow (A) tool; arrows follow when you move a shape.
