Edit options and Properties - right click with the mouse to show the menu of edit options and properties. These vary for each type of drawing object. The property values can be used to set start point, end point, length, thickness ... of each object accurately.

 

 

Notes

 

If the Grid is switched on the starting and end points of the lines always move (snap) to the nearest grid point. This makes it easy to ensure that lines meet and that horizontal and vertical lines are straight.
