Line lengths change

skyflyrr

Is there a way to create a line and specify/change its length once it is on your board layout? I brought up properties on some lines I drew and thought I could specify the length I wanted, but it is not allowed on the properties box? A way to specify after the fact eliminates having to look at coordinates or trying to start at a certain location to determine length. This should be available via a properties menu.

 

Thanks,

    Hi Bob,

     

    The length field in the properties box is read-only.  But you can edit the

    (x y) coordinate of the start and end of the line so you can effect the

    length that way.

     

    Or, if you know exactly how much shorter you want it, set the grid to that

    exact amount and then move one end of the line by exactly one grid.

     

    Cheers,

     

    James.
