Drawing lines
A line consists of two points: a start point and an endpoint. You can connect a series of lines, but each line segment is considered a separate line entity.
To draw a line
- Do one of the following:
- Choose Insert > Line.
- On the Draw 2D toolbar, click the Line tool (
).
- Type line and then press Enter.
- Specify the start point.
- Specify the endpoint.
- In the prompt box, choose Done to complete the command.
Start point (A) and endpoint (B).
If the last entity you drew was an arc, you can also draw a line tangent to and starting from the endpoint of the arc.
To draw a line as a continuation from the end of an arc
- Do one of the following:
- Choose Insert > Line.
- On the Draw 2D toolbar, click the Line tool (
).
- Type line and then press Enter.
- In the prompt box, choose Follow.
- Specify the length of the line.
Endpoint of previous arc (A) and length of the line (B).
