Magnetic Lines

Magnetic lines are a convenient way to align balloons along a line at any angle.

You attach balloons to magnetic lines, choose to space the balloons equally or not, and move the lines freely, at any angle, in the drawing.

  • You can have multiple magnetic lines in a drawing view.
  • Magnetic lines do not print.
  • Balloons maintain their alignment when the magnetic lines are not visible.
  • When you drag a balloon onto another balloon on a magnetic line, the balloons swap positions.
  • You can insert balloons before or after inserting magnetic lines.
  • You can insert magnetic lines automatically when you use the Auto Balloon command.
