Line

The Line tool is used to create basic line segments in a sketch. It is commonly used to construct sketch outlines and geometric structures. Both individual line segments and continuous polylines are supported.

Steps:

1. Hover over the "Line" icon in the toolbar.

2. Select "Line/Tangent Arc" to enter Line mode.

3. Create a line:

   1. Left-click in the drawing area to define the start point.

   2. Move the cursor and left-click again to define the endpoint.

   3. (Optional) Enter a value and press Enter to apply a dimensional constraint.

   4. Continue moving the cursor to draw additional segments, or right-click to finish the current segment.

4. Right-click again or press Esc to exit Line mode.

Step 1 - Hover over the "Line" icon in the toolbar:

Step 2 - Select "Line/Tangent Arc" to enter Line mode:

Step 3 - Left-click to define the start point of the line:

Step 4 - Continue drawing connected line segments:

Notes

• Lines can be used to form open or closed profiles for downstream features such as extrusions or revolutions.

• After you draw a line segment, the tool remains in Line mode for continuous drawing.

  

• Press A to switch between Line and Tangent Arc modes.

  

• Press Tab to reverse tangent arc direction.
