• While drawing the pattern, you can freely
switch between the different line types
either by clicking a different button or by
pressing the shortcut key.
• Even after the pattern is drawn, you can
transform straight lines into curves and
vice versa. For more details, refer to
“Transforming straight lines into curves or
curves into straight lines” on page 137.
• If Close Path is set, double-clicking will
automatically draw a line between the last
and the first points of the line.
• When drawing a straight line, hold down
the key while moving the pointer
to draw vertically or horizontally.
• A template image is needed in order to
draw using the Semi-Automatic tool. If
there is no image, this tool will draw like
the Straight Line tool.
