Freehand Line

Source file: freehand-line.htm

Lines can be created to manipulate or add to existing data. Freehand lines can be drawn anywhere in 3D space along the path of the moving mouse.

Note:  Where the mouse moves over an object, the freehand line is drawn on the object. Where it moves over empty space, the line is drawn on the action plane.

  1. On the Create ribbon tab, go to the Draw group. From the Line drop-down list select   Freehand Line.

    The status bar will display the Start point fields. Enter the start point's coordinates or click in the view window.

  2. Move the mouse to draw the freehand line.

  3. Click to finish the line.

  4. Repeat to draw another line.

  5. Click or press Esc to close the tool.
