Drawing straight lines with the Freehand & Brush Tool

Normally the Freehand & Brush Tool draws a line that follows movements of the mouse. You can also draw straight sections of line.

Drawing straight lines with the Freehand & Brush Tool

1. Press ALT during the drag

2. Move the mouse pointer to the end of the straight section and release ALT. (To help you, the straight line is shown on screen while the ALT key is pressed.)

You can then continue drawing the freehand line. Remember not to release the mouse button!

Tip

To constrain the straight line to the constrain angles, press CTRL+ALT. To change the constrain angle, see Changing the constrain angle.
