Draft Line

Description
The Line tool creates a straight, two-points line in the current work plane. It takes the linewidth and color previously set on the Tasks tab. The Line tool behaves exactly like the Draft Wire tool, except that it stops after two points.



How to use

 * 1) Press the [[Image:Draft Line.png|16px]] Draft Line button
 * 2) Click a first point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate
 * 3) Click a second point on the 3D view, or type a coordinate

Options



 * To enter coordinates manually, simply press between each X, Y and Z component.
 * Press or click the checkbox to check/uncheck the relative mode. If relative mode is on, the coordinates of the second point are relative to the first one. If not, they are absolute, taken from the (0,0,0) origin point.
 * Press or click the checkbox to check/uncheck the continue mode. If continue mode is on, the Line tool will restart after you give the second point, allowing you to draw another line segment without pressing the Line button again.
 * Press while drawing to force snapping your point to the nearest snap location, independently of the distance.
 * Press while drawing to constrain your second point horizontally or vertically in relation to the first one.
 * Press + or press the button to undo the last point.
 * Press or the  button to abort the current Line command.

Scripting
The Line tool can by used in macros and from the python console the following way:

import Draft myLine = Draft.makeLine(FreeCAD.Vector(0,0,0),FreeCAD.Vector(2,0,0))
