    The Line command creates a series of lines. A line segment is created each time you click.

    Create lines

     

    1. Click the Line command in the Sketch pull-down.
    2. Click to place the starting point for the line.
    3. Click to place the second end point, or enter the length and angle and click to create the point. The angle field does not display when a constraint is inferred.
    4. Continue to place points for additional line segments.
    5. Right-click then select Cancel to end the command.

    Create arcs

     

    A tangent arc is created if you hold the left mouse button and drag while the line command is active.

    1. Pause over the last end point when drawing lines, or pause over an existing end point to add an arc.
    2. Press the left mouse button and drag to preview the arc radius.
    3. Move the cursor to other side of the line to change the direction of the arc.
    4. Click to place the end point, or enter a value for the radius and then click to create the end point.
