A wire consists of two points: a start point and an end point. In this dialog the coordinates of the ends can be specified in different ways.

Start point

Specify the coordinates of the point in the drawing where the segment begins.

X

Specify the horizontal position.

Y

Specify the vertical position.

End point

Specify the coordinates of the point where the segment ends. The coordinates of the second end of the wire can be specified as follows:

In absolute coordinates

Specify the horizontal position in the X box and the vertical position in the Y box.

In coordinates relative to the starting point

Specify the distance of the endpoint from the starting point in the fields Dx and Dy.

In polar coordinates from the starting point

Specify the length of the wire and the angle it forms with respect to the x-axis in the fields Segment length and Angle.

Style

Select the wire style from the proposed list or create a new style.
