You can create a series of line segments in the active file.
Do not use lines or line series for generating electrical schematics. They are not
managed by the electrical project database.
To access the Line command, click

A line segment is defined by two points. To create a line, define the start and
the end points in one of the following ways:
- Dynamically, by clicking the graphical area
- Manually, by specifying the end coordinates
After you create a series of lines, you can edit or move each line segment
separately. When you move or edit a line, you can only dynamically reposition
the line and its endpoints.
In the dockable panel, the following options are available.
