Add Multi-Point Line Tool

What it Does

Draws a series of straight lines through several points, one after another. Use this when you want to outline a shape in one step instead of adding each line separately. Each new line goes from one point to the next, in the order you select them.

Use this for the outline of a pattern piece, such as a pocket or a facing.

How to Use

1. Activate the tool by selecting the Add Multi-Point Line icon
2. Select the points in the order the line should pass through them
3. To join the last point back to the first, check Close the outline connecting the last point to the first.
4. Select Continue to draw the lines
5. Enter a name in the Name box
6. Choose a color in the Style box
7. Select Save to keep the lines, or Cancel to leave without adding them

info

The lines are drawn in the order you select the points. If the shape crosses itself, cancel and select the points again in the right order.

🧠Memorization

When you memorize a draft, the new lines are remembered along with the points they pass through and whether the outline is closed.
