This tool is used to draw straight lines at any angle on the design. The width of the line can be changed by double clicking the line tool in the Tools Palette and entering a new size.

Drag the cursor over the design and the line will be draw in your selected colour.

If you have a pattern selected in the Patterns Library, the line will be filled with that chosen pattern.

As an alternative to dragging a line on the design, you can plot the coordinates of a line by holding down ⌥ (option key) and double clicking on the line tool in the Tools Palette. Enter top, left, bottom and right coordinates for the start and end points of the line. Click OK and a line will be drawn automatically on the design.
