Polyline

A run of straight lines on the drawing. Click each change of direction; double-click or press Enter to finish. Backspace removes the last point.

Why you would use it

For a route, a run or a boundary that isn’t straight, where you are showing where something goes rather than measuring how long it is.

For example

What to do

1. Click each change of direction.
2. Double-click or press Enter to finish.
3. Backspace removes the last point.

Going further

Nothing here is measured. Polyline length, under Measure, is the tool that reports a distance.
