Translations:UserManual:Tools:Lines/2/en

Up until now, we’ve been working with tools to place points and we’ve had the choice to include lines. However, a lot of the time, if we add lines, our design gets very messy with a multitude of lines that we don’t really use and things become very confusing when actually drafting our pattern layout. To avoid this, I either use a dotted line or no line at all. Some of the tools, like the True Dart tool, only place the points and we then need to ‘connect the dots’ to get the outline of the pattern piece that we want. This is where Lines, Curves and Elliptical Arcs come in. As soon as you select a tool, there is a little help sentence that pops up in the bottom left corner, like this: When in doubt, see what this tells you to do.
