LINE

  • Creates a new straight line using the current line style.
  • You can specify the start point directly on the screen, or set the last point as the start point.
  • You can draw a line by specifying options, and UNDO lets you cancel the most recently drawn line segment.
  • If you continue specifying endpoints in succession, a line is drawn starting from the endpoint of the previously drawn line.

Options Available Starting from the Second Line

Section titled “Options Available Starting from the Second Line”

  • Angle: Fixes the angle of the line
  • Length: Fixes the length of the line
  • Follow: Draws a line successively at the same angle as the previously drawn line. Only the length can be changed.
  • Undo: Cancels the most recently drawn line segment.

1) Run the “LINE” command.
2) Specify the start point of the line on the screen with the mouse. (2 methods)
    2-1) Specify the start point of the line on screen with the mouse.
    2-2) Press ENTER or enter the “F” (Follow) key to specify the last point as the start point.
3) Specify the endpoint at the desired location with the mouse. (2 methods)
    3-1) Click on screen to specify only the endpoint.
    3-2) Enter “A” (Angle) to specify the endpoint of a line with a fixed angle.
    3-3) Enter “L” (Length) to specify the endpoint of a line with a fixed length.
4) If you want to continue drawing lines, specify the endpoint at the desired location with the mouse. (4 methods)
    4-1) Click on screen to specify only the endpoint.
    4-2) Enter “A” (Angle) to specify the endpoint of a line with a fixed angle.
    4-3) Enter “L” (Length) to specify the endpoint of a line with a fixed length.
    4-4) If a line was drawn just before, enter “F” (Follow) to specify an endpoint at
the same angle as the previous line.
5) To undo the previous line-drawing action, select the “Undo” keyword in the Command Input Window or type “U” (Undo).
6) To end the line-drawing command, press ESC or ENTER.

1) Run the “LINE” command.
2) Draw at least two lines in succession.
3) Type the “C” (Close) keyword to automatically draw a line from the current endpoint back to the very first start point of the currently running “LINE” command, and end the command.
