l02turner Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) I have tried every combination of keys attempting to draw straight lines, all without success. What should I be doing?

toe_head2001 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 You can use the Shift key when using the Line/Curve tool. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts.

BoltBait Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 How to use the line tool to draw a straight line: To constrain to a certain regular angle, use the shift key while drawing your line. 1 1 Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHaveNoName Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I've always thought it easier (only one hand required) just to use the mouse with the Line/Curve tool - left click to start the line and hold it down whilst moving the mouse pointer anywhere on the screen to extend or angle/rotate the line as required. Release left to end the line. For perfectly horizontal or vertical lines I favour using the Shapes (Square) default outline option instead. Change the line width to 1 pixel and just overlap the sides of the rectangle to create a single line. Alternatively use the Line/Curve tool - left click, hold as before and use the keyboard directional keys to draw the line up/down or across the screen.
