    To Draw a Line or Polyline

    1. Draw a short first segment freehand, then release the mouse button.

      This establishes a known endpoint from which to start the series.

    2. Hold Shift, move the cursor to the next desired vertex, then click.

      A straight line is drawn between the two points.

    3. If you want to add more lines to the series, repeat step 2 for each one.
