Farestone Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hi, I am new to designer on the iPad and need to draw straight lines. I’m used to having a straight line tool but can’t seem to find one. Also didn’t find a tutorial. Closest I have gotten is a rectangle with one zero dimension. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 With the pen tool selected, look at the Context menu at the bottom. Change mode from Pen to Line in Mode drop menu.

Farestone Posted June 13, 2019 Author Share Posted June 13, 2019 I appreciate the help but in practice that is basically the same as drawing a rectangle and setting the height to zero, because what you get is a diagonal through a rectangle, not a line, until you set one dimension to zero, which feels cumbersome. Unless there is a way to force it to vertical or horizontal that I haven’t found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I understand. CC4BA6EF-6637-4994-B02F-572B133424A3.MP4 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
