We start by drawing a line.

To draw a line follow these steps:

  1. Open the "Elements" menu and its "line" sub-menu. Click on the icon "Line" to activate the function.The icon is framed by a dotted line to show that it is activated. The function displays the message "Digitize the line by 2 points origin and end."

  2. Draw the line with both ends, you can point each item separately or continuously as with a pencil.

  3. Drawn line is selected and the floating menu shows available editors to apply on it, you can re-draw a line from the floating menu.
