Polyline

If a user requires a shape that is not already provided, they can create a custom shape as a Polyline.

How to create a Polyline shape.

  1. Select Polyline from the Drawing pane.
    Select the Polyline shape
  2. Left-click for each point on the shape. If you need to remove a point, right-click and select Delete point. If you are drawing on a map, you can select Reset Path to reset the shape back to the initial two points.
    Note: Two lines are shown when creating a new point:
    • Blue line — This line shows what the line for between the last drawn point and the next point will look like based on your mouse pointer location.
    • Yellow line — This line shows what the line between where the point of your current mouse location is and the first drawn point will look like if you close the shape.
