Drawing straight line through another point


Recommended Posts

Hi, any advice on how can I draw straight line, in Designer..or Photo, from corner 'a' through point 'b' (click to b is allowed) so that it ends somewhere in line 'c'? I know that i could create long line and then rotate it and... Is there an easier way? Ideal solution would be if i could constraint the direction after point 'b' somehow.

Cheers

Shift key constrains the direction of movement, not only in multiples of 45 degrees, but also the direction of a node from its neighbouring node(s).

Ensure "Snap to object geometry" is enabled and then using Pen Tool:

  1. draw a straight line from a to b
  2. with cmd key depressed to temporarily enable Node Tool, drag node at b with shift key depressed to maintain the direction of the line, until the node snaps to line C.
