To draw a line segment 1 On the Draw menu, click Line, Segment, or click the Line Segment button on the All-In-One toolbar. 2 (optional) Change the settings on the edit bar for Segment Length and Segment Angle. 3 (optional) Use the plus (+) and minus (-) keys on the numeric keypad (or press F5) to rotate the segment. 4 Click to place the line. OR Press CTRL while clicking to place one end of the line. A rubber-band line, anchored to the point you clicked, appears and follows the pointer. Click again to place the other end of the line. Drawing Connected Lines You draw connected lines by entering two or more points using the Draw menu's multiple line command. Use connected lines when you need the look of a polyline, but you need to store information about each line segment individually. If you need to know the total length of the connected lines or if you need width control, use a polyline. For information on drawing polylines, see the chapter titled "Polylines, Polygons, & Curves," which begins on page 137. Drawing Connected Lines | 131
