Drawing Sketch Components
Create a Polyline;
Select the Polyline tool in the Draw toolbox.
Notice the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen.
The Status Bar issues instructions when a tool is selected
and whilst a tool is being used. Since the Polyline tool has just
been selected the Status Bar is requesting input to define the
start of the Polyline.
Move the mouse pointer towards the Y-Axis until a C mark appears then click LMB once. This
specifies the start of the Polyline. The first segment of the Polyline will now be displayed as
the mouse is moved the mouse is moved.
The C mark indicates the point will be constrained to be Coincident with the Y-axis.

Notice again that the Status Bar now
issues an instruction for the next point in

To create the next Polyline vertex, move
the pointer to the right (+x). When the line
is approximately horizontal, a H mark will
appear on the line. Click to select the
second point of the Polyline.
If you position the next point incorrectly, y p p y,
clicking RMB can be used to open a context
