Ghost Phriek Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Okay, probably the most n00by question here, but: how do I make straight lines? I found out that you can click and hold one of the arrow keys to get a horizontal/vertical line. But how do I get a straight diagonal line? I'm doing an isometric drawing getting ready for my engineering class next semester, and I want to be familiar with using isometric paper. But I can't make any lines! Thanks for any help! Oh, and if anyone has a picture of some isometric paper handy, I'd love you for forever. I'm having no luck finding the right type with Google Images.

mountnman Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) use the line/curve tool... shortcut is the o as for the paper- run the Hexagonal grid plugin with all either all three draw mode top, or all three draw mode bottom boxes checked [/url]http://forums.getpai...ted-2011-04-17/ Edited June 27, 2011 by mountnman Quote SARCASM- Just one of the many services I offer free to the public.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hold SHIFT down to constrain the line to 15 degree increments. Makes drawing straight lines much easier when you use the mouse!

Ghost Phriek Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) Thanks guys! Mountnman, how do I get the plugin into PAINT.NET? I tried extracting it into the Effects folder, but it does nothing. Thanks again! Edited June 27, 2011 by Ghost Phriek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountnman Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 (edited) hmmm, i dont know. i select run, then extract to the effects folder and it shows up on the effects menu...you could try just downloading the hexa grid http://jcljay.free.fr/pdn/HexaGrid.zip you DID close Paint.net before you downloaded it, yes?

Ghost Phriek Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 That's odd, I had no trouble this time. I right-clicked on the file and clicked "Extract..." and went to the PAINT.NET folder and nothing happened. I did the same thing this time and it worked perfectly. Little bit frustrating, but I have all I need now! Thanks for your help. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
