LINE Command

Creates straight line segments

Draw toolbar:
Draw menu: Line
Command line:line

From point: Specify a point or press ENTER to continue the line or arc
To point: Specify a point
To point: Specify a point, enter u, enter c, or press ENTER


You can specify the endpoints of lines using 2D or 3D coordinates.

AutoCAD LT draws a line segment and continues to prompt for points. You can draw a continuing series of line segments, but each line segment is a separate object. Press ENTER to end the command.

For example, the following command sequence draws a single line segment:

Command: line
From point: Specify a point (1)
To point: Specify a point (2)
To point: Press ENTER

Undo a Line (LINE)

At the To Point prompt, erases the most recent segment of a line sequence.

Entering u more than once backtracks through line segments in the order in which they were created.

Close a Series of Line Segments

After a series of two or more segments are drawn, the last line segment ends at the beginning of the first line segment, which forms a closed loop of line segments.

Enter c or close at the To Point prompt to form a closed polygon from a sequence of lines.

ENTER - Continue a Line or Arc (LINE)

Continues a line from the endpoint of the most recently drawn line. Press ENTER at the From Point prompt to define the starting point of the line.

If you drew an arc most recently, its endpoint defines the starting point of the line, and the line is drawn tangent to the arc.
