A line, or straight line, hsCADCreator can be described as an (infinitely) thin, (infinitely) long, perfectly straight curve. The line provides the shortest connection between two points. A line segment is a part of a line that is bounded by two end points. The line entity represents a line segment in 3D space. To draw a line see the Line Tool.
