Line Tool Settings
For a description of generic settings common to all tools in the Toolbox, see Working in Tool Settings Dialog Boxes.
The Uniform Settings for Line Tools checkbox allows you to apply the settings made in this dialog box to all line-type tools: Line, Arc/Circle, Spline, Polyline.
Favorites of any of the four Line-type tools (Line, Arc, Polyline, Spline) can be applied to any of the other Line-type elements.
Select a Line type from the pop-up selection palette.
Type a Pen number (1-255) for the Line/Arc/Polyline/Spline.
Click the color for a Pencolor selection palette for the Line/Arc/Polyline/Spline.
Check the Zone Boundary box to allow lines to delimit Zones when using the automatic recognition methods of the Zone tool.
Use the Arrowhead icons to choose a Line with no arrowheads, or a Line with an arrowhead at start, at end or at both ends.
Click the Arrowhead pop-up icon for selection of marker types.
The Line Categories and Properties panel is identical for the Line, Arc/Circle, Polyline and Spline tools.
