Mini-CAD: Line objects (lines, polygons, rectangles, circles, Bezier splines)

For "Single line", "Horizontal line", "Vertical line", "Rectangle" and "Circle" click the start point with the left mouse button and move to the end point holding the mouse button down. The line is then drawn after releasing the left mouse button.

When creating "Polygon lines", "Polygon" or "Polygon (filled, ...)", the start point is defined by pressing the left mouse button. By pressing the left mouse button once again you define the end point of the line, which is then also the start point of the next line. The function is completed by pressing the right mouse button.

The "Bezier spline" function allows you to draw any kind of curve. Four points are required for this, which are defined by mouse click using the left mouse button. To attach a Bezier spline to an existing one, activate the "Capture line ends" function before starting to draw. Each individual spline is treated as a "Polygon (filled, ...)" and can be correspondingly edited, e.g. provided with a colour fill.

Colour, pen width, dashing or selecting a certain line type (e.g. dimension line) can be selected in advance by activating a predefined pen (see “Mini-CAD System preferences: Pen preferences and pen selection"). When editing an existing line object open the corresponding editor box by double-clicking the corresponding object (see Sections under “Mini-CAD: Editing Mini-CAD objects”).
