Drawing a straight line is simple:Originally Posted by PMH
- Choose the Freehand and Brush Tool (F3)
- Hold down CTRL+ALT and draw your line.
Using the Fill option is a better solution and using the transparency Button is another solution:
- Draw your shape with the Freehand and Brush Tool (F3) or the Shape Editor Tool (F4) or the Pen Tool (Shift+F5)
- Open the Fill Gallery and select the Fill CROSSH1.GIF in the section "Two color patterns".
- Click the Button "Transp" in your Fill Gallery.
- Choose the Transparency Tool (F6) to modify your choosen Bitmap transparency.
- Drag the control point (red squares) to change the rotation and the size of the Two color bitmap. (simple dragging changes the position or size of one control point, dragging together with holidng the Shift key keeps the aspect ratio of the two red control points).
- To change the color, click on a color in the Color Bar or go to the Fill Tool (F5) and choose a more complex Fill Type (for example a "four color" Fill").
