Line Tool
You can use the Line Tool on the Text Overlay toolbar to draw a line
between text and an image feature, or between any two points of interest on
your image.
Click the Line Tool button, then drag on your image to create the line. You can create
as many lines as you want.
To resize or adjust a line, make sure the Line Tool or Select Tool is assigned to your
mouse, then position your cursor on one end of the line (marked by a circle) and drag.
To add arrowheads to a line, make sure the Line Tool or Select Tool is assigned to
your mouse, then double-click the middle of the line. A dialog box will pop up with
options to add arrowheads to one or both ends of the line.
