Methods to begin a line

This command has 3 methods to begin creating a line segment:

  • Start of line
  • Last point
  • Follow

You can continue adding unlimited segments until you press Enter to end the command.

Start of line
Begin creating a line by specifying the start point then:
Set end point
Specify the end point of the line segment.
Additional options: [Angle/Length/Follow/Close/Undo]
Last point
Begin creating a line from the last point picked then:
Set end point
Specify the end point of the line segment.
  1. Last drawn arc
  2. Last point
  3. End point
Additional options: [Angle/Length/Follow/Close/Undo]
Follow
Begin creating a line from the last drawn arc or line segment, following its angle, then:
Length of line
Specify the length of the line. Picking the endpoint only determines the length since the angle follows the previous segment.
  1. Last drawn arc
  2. Follow
Additional options: [Angle/Length/Follow/Close/Undo]

After you begin creating a line, the following options may be available:

Angle
Specify the angle of the line segment.
Length
Specify the length of the line segment.
Undo
Undo the last line segment and continue drawing from its previous start point.
