The Draw Points/Lines toolbar contains functions for drawing lines and points defined in different ways.
Point will draw a point at the selected position.
Between two points will draw a line between two selected points.
Vertical will draw a vertical line. The first point selected defines the starting point (and the X coordinate), the second point selected defines the length (and need not be directly above or below the first point).
Horizontal will draw a horizontal line. The first point selected defines the starting point (and the Y coordinate), the second point selected defines the length (and need not be directly to the left or right of the first point).
Polar lets you select the starting point of a line, and you then select (or write) the angle and length of the line.
Perpendicular draws a line perpendicular to another line. You first select the line your new line is to be perpendicular to, then the starting point of your new line. You then select the length of your new line, and last you select in which direction from the starting point your new line is to go.
Parallel draws a line parallel to another line. You first select the line your new line is to be parallel to, then the starting point of your new line. You then select the length of your new line, and last you select in which direction from the starting point your new line is to go.
Bisector draws a line bisecting two other lines, i.e. a line that halves the angle between two lines. You first select the two lines you want to bisect, then you select the length of your new line (from the intersection of the two lines you are bisecting), and last you select which of the four possible solutions you want to keep.
Tangent Two Elements lets you draw a line tangent to two circles or arcs. You select the two circles or arcs your new line is to be tangent to, and then you select which of the solutions you want to keep.
Tangent Angle draws a line tangent to an arc or circle, at a selected angle. You first select the arc or circle your new line is to be tangent to, then the angle and length, and last you select which of the two solutions you want to keep.
Tangent Through Point draws a line tangent to an arc or circle, to a selected point. You first select the arc or circle your new line is to be tangent to, then the point it is to go though, and last you select which of the two solutions you want to keep.
Rectangle draws a rectangle where you select the two opposite corners. It is possible to define a corner radius for the rectangle (the corner radius is ignored if there is not room for it).
