storm2313 25 Posted May 6, 2016 I'm wondering if there's a way to generate a straight line using the polyline module? I can draw with it fine, but if I want a perfect line I don't how to generate one. If you have suggestions, or could share how to I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

VinylMaster 148 Posted May 6, 2016 When you have finished creating a line click Done in the bottom right corner or right-click to end the line - hold down Alt to snap to the horizontal or vertical. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
storm2313 25 Posted May 7, 2016 I'm not sure if you require the grid enabled to do that. I don't use the grid for production. I have tried holding down ALT, but can't get it to snap to a perfect line origin. I know I'm missing something. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinylMaster 148 Posted May 8, 2016 No grid required... just click anywhere to start the line, next go to the required end position, click again to create a single line, and then right-click or click Done to finish and a single line will be created. the Alt key will only work when you are close to a perfect horizontal or vertical line and at some distance away from the start point... you will see the preview snap to either axis.
