Creating Line Objects |
To create a line object:
- Choose Line from the
Draw menu or click the Line tool
button on the toolbar. The cursor changes to a
cross-hair pointer.
- Click and hold down the left mouse button on the
page where you want to start the line. Drag the
mouse to draw the line.
- Release the mouse button where you want to end
the line.
- Hold the CTRL key down whilst
using the mouse to move the endpoint of the diagonal
line. This will round the angle of the line to an
increment of 15 degrees.
- To resize the line, click on one of the black
handles and drag in or out to make the line longer
or shorter.
To change the properties of a selected line:
- Double click on the line or select the line and
then click on the Object properties
button on the toolbar.
- On the Format tab, edit:
- Pattern - solid, dotted or
dashed line.
- Color - change the color of
the line.
- Width - make the line thin
or thick.
- End cap - modify the end of
the line to a rounded or square end.
- On the Position tab, edit the
line's position.
