Line

The line object is the most basic and common object in drawings of any discipline.

Precision in Specifying Point Locations #

  • Use object snap , to snap to locations on objects
  • Use Orthogonal locking, Ortho Mode (F8), to constrain cursor movement to the
    horizontal and vertical directions
  • Use angle overrides to lock the cursor to a specified angle

How to draw a line with the specific angle and length? #

  1. Command line enter: Line or L, or Click Menu “Draw/Line”.
  2. Specify the first point.
  3. Do one of the following to specify the angle: Enter the left angle bracket (<) and the
    angle, for example <30, and move the cursor to indicate the direction.
  4. Do one of the following to specify the length: Enter the length of the line, for example
    25.
