a Note:

•While drawing the pattern, you can freely switch between the different line types either by clicking a different button or by pressing the shortcut key.

•Even after the pattern is drawn, you can transform straight lines into curves and vice versa. For more details, refer to “Transforming straight lines into curves or curves into straight lines” on page 108.

•If Close Path is set, double-clicking will automatically draw a line between the last and the first points of the line.

•When drawing a straight line, hold down the Shift key while moving the pointer to draw vertically or horizontally.

•A template image is needed in order to draw using the Semi-Automatic tool. If there is no image, this tool will draw like the Straight Line tool.
