Draw straight lines

Horizontal and vertical ruled lines and diagonal lines are prepared for the straight line, and they are used according to the type of line to be drawn.

Procedure

  1. Select Straight line or Horizontal or vertical line from Item - Basic shapes. Or click sxd10_i443.png or sxd10_i444.png on the toolbar.

  2. Click the mouse on the form to draw a line.

    If you draw a line while holding down the CTRL key, you can draw a horizontal or vertical line.

    Reference

    When drawing a line inside a rectangle, you can make the anchor points join automatically by using the "Fit mode". For details on "Fit mode", see "Adjoin the start/end points of item and the frame of nearby item (Fit mode)".

  3. Select the drawn line.

    Property editor displays the properties of the straight line.

  4. Specify each property item.

Reference

Straight lines can automatically be created by extracting from a form image loaded as sample. If straight lines are automatically created from ruled lines of a form image, a square is not created as a rectangle but four straight lines. You can then combine the four straight lines to form a rectangle.
