Polyline (2D)

General

Draw a polyline chain by clicking the starting point, the points at the points of discontinuity and the ending point.
When adding a polyline, you can use auxiliary functions to control the drawing of the lines.
- When the symbol appears in the lower right corner of the cursor, right-click to display the context-sensitive menu.
- With the auxiliary function Automatic mirroring of line, you can draw a chain of lines symmetrically with respect to the axis of symmetry you have indicated.
- Continuous line is selected: The polyline is drawn as a single line, so you can select the polyline with one click.
- Continuous line is not selected: The polyline is drawn as a chain of separate lines.
- With the auxiliary function Orthogonal ruler 0-45-90 degrees, you can draw a line whose directions are locked at horizontal, vertical or 45° angles. You can deactivate the function by selecting the same auxiliary function twice in a row.
