Draft Line

Description
The Line tool creates a straight line defined by two points. It uses the Draft Linestyle set on the Draft tray toolbar. The Line tool behaves exactly like the Draft Wire tool, except that it stops after two points.



How to use

 * 1) Press the  button, or press  then  keys
 * 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

 * Press, or  after the first point to constrain the second point on the given axis.
 * To enter coordinates manually, simply enter the numbers, then press between each X, Y and Z component.
 * Press or click the checkbox to toggle 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 origin (0,0,0).
 * Press or click the checkbox to toggle 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 tool 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 command.
 * If several connected Draft Lines are selected they can be transformed into a wire by pressing the Draft Upgrade tool. However, these wires aren't editable. To create an editable wire, use Draft Wire.

Properties

 * : The start point
 * : The end point
 * : Divides the line with the given number of subdivisions

Scripting
Draft API, and the autogenerated API documentation.

The Line tool can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the following function:


 * Creates a object between points  and, each defined as a
 * Creates a object from a
 * Creates a object from the first vertex to the last vertex of the given
 * The current Draft Linestyle will be used
