3. To extend the line, position the cursor over one of its red end nodes.

The cursor changes to include a plus symbol. Click on the node and

drag to add a new line segment.

To draw one or more line segments (with the Pen Tool):

1. Click the

Pen Tool from the Standard Objects toolbar's Line

flyout. On the Curve context toolbar, three buttons let you select

which kind of segment to draw:

A Straight segment is simply a straight

line connecting two nodes.

(Shortcut: Press 1)

A Bézier segment is curved, displaying

control handles for precise adjustment.

(Shortcut: Press 2)

Smart segments appear without visible

control handles, using automatic curve-fitting

to connect each node. They are especially

useful when tracing around curved objects and

pictures.

(Shortcut: Press 3)

2. Select a segment type, then click where you want the line to start.

• For a Straight segment, click again (or drag) for a new node

where you want the segment to end. Shift-click to align the

segment at 15° intervals (useful for quick right-angle

junctions).

• For a Bézier segment, click again for a new node and drag

out a control handle from it. Click again where you want

the segment to end, and a curved segment appears. The

finished segment becomes selectable.
