Drawing a line is simple enough. The reason I dedicated a whole episode to it is because Illustrator given us a few tools to allow us to be more precise in our work. If you don't know these tricks, you might get off on the wrong foot, and we can't have that.

Some of what we'll cover includes:

• Creating a simple line segment
• Keeping your lines straight
• Creating lines by the numbers
• Rotating with precision
• What about the Direct Selection Tool
• and more
  

Sit in while I walk you through some best practices for creating line segments with the aptly named Line Segment Tool.
