drawing a line without closing a shape

Post by Nicohk92 »

This may be sort of a newbie question,

How do I draw a line, just a line without closing a shape?

I would normally make a shape, uncheck fill and delete unwanted edges but I saw in some templates that some lines were built without resorting to full shapes. How does that work?


Thanks a lot

You can use the freehand tool and just not have it auto close or auto fill, though I'm sure there's other ways as well.

Ok I got it. It was actually well explained in the manual.

Select points, press U, then space bar


Thanks anyway.
