Adding Lines and Arcs to the Work Area

You can use lines and arcs to add interesting details to images.

To Add a Line or Arc to the Work Area:

In the Toolbar, under Create, select the Line Tool or Arc Tool from the Tool drop-down menu.
Click and drag across the work area. Press and hold the Shift key to create lines at 45 degree angles only or to fill arcs and create quarter-circles.
On the Properties bar, select options as described below.

Properties Bar Options

	After you add an object to the work area, Photo Editor automatically switches to the Selection Tool and displays the Selection Tool options in the Properties bar. Select the Retain Tool if you want to add more objects to the image.
	Click Line Style to select the line thickness and style. In the Line Style dialog box, you can alter the line attributes and arrowhead or dash style.

In the Properties bar, leave Scale Proportional checked if you want your image or object to remain proportional when resizing. Always resize by dragging from an object or image's corner node if you want to maintain proportional resizing.
