Draw a Line

To draw a line, follow the steps given below:

  1. Click or touch the Add icon on the upper right corner of the map to open the Add panel.
  2. Under the Create Annotations list, select Line annotation. You can click on Cancel button to exit without drawing annotation.
  3. Click or tap on the map to mark the first point.
  4. Click or tap again to mark the second point.
  5. Repeat the above step for as many points that you wish to add to the line on the map.
  6. Click or tap twice to add the last point. The line annotation is drawn on the map and is also listed with a default name in the Map Legend panel under the Annotations heading.
    Length is also displayed while drawing the line.
    Note: If you click or tap on the map and drag the finger whilst drawing you can pan the map. This is useful if you want to carry on drawing past the edge of the current map view. A line must have at least two points to be added to the map.
    Note: You can also draw free hand line by pressing Shift key while drawing the Line annotation on the map.
