Offsetting a Grid Line from Its Bubble

There may be times when you sketch a grid line and want to offset its bubble from the rest of the grid line.

  1. Sketch a grid line, or select an existing grid line.

    The end of the line near the bubble has drag controls.

  2. To resize the grid line, select and move the end drag control near the bubble.
  3. Click the Add Elbow drag control (), then drag the control to the desired location to move the bubble away from the grid line.

    When you move the bubble end out of line, the effect appears only in that view. The segments created from dragging the bubble have a solid line style. You cannot change this style.

As you drag a control, the cursor snaps at points similar to the neighboring grids. The cursor also snaps as the segments form straight lines.
