Line

The 'Line' command is used to draw any additional lines, that are required on the drawing, that do not represent an electrical connection. To draw a line, select the command and you will be prompted to enter the start point. This can be done by inputting the co-ordinates, using the keyboard, or by positioning the cursor on the screen. If you are using the cursor, when the cursor is in the correct location, press the left mouse button (or <Enter> key) to fix the first point and you will be prompted to enter the next point. Continue entering as many points as required to complete the line.

Although these lines are created in a similar manner to those created using the 'Schematic - Line' command, they will not be recognised by the list generator or other automatic functions. The width of a line can be set using the 'Line width' command, with the maximum width being 1 inch (25.4mm). In the case of a very thick line, it is created symmetrically about the center line (in contrast to a rectangle whose width is generated inwards from the base line). If you need to select a thick line, e.g. for a modify operation, it must be selected  by placing the cursor on the center of the line and not on the edge. In addition to the width you can also set the colour and type of the line, prior to placing. In the case of a drawing generated in colour, it is also possible to output plots in corresponding colours.
