Line Tool

The Line Tool is used to draw single, straight lines.  Click on the Line tool and your cursor will change to a “+”. In normal usage you simply click and drag to draw a line.  Line color, style and width can be set using the Style Toolbar.

When you draw a line, changes in the X and Y axis are shown in the Status Bar so that you can see the length of the line as you create it.
