   • Or specify the length and angle values, then click to place the second point.
4. Continue placing points:
   • Repeat step 3 to create additional straight line segments.

5. Complete the line:
   • Click the start point to create a closed sketch profile.
   • Click the Check icon .
6. Optional: Repeat steps 2-5 to create another line.
7. Press Enter to complete the tool.

Tips

• You can pause over an end point, then click and drag to create an arc segment that is tangent to the previous line segment. Move the mouse to the opposite side of the line segment to flip the direction of the arc.
• You can specify a radius before you create additional line segments.
• As you move the mouse cursor, object snap symbols display near the geometry when you snap to the sketch grid or other geometry in the design. If you snap to a specific point, the logical constraints are automatically added to the sketch.
