Line Drawing
The Draw command is used to draw lines, arcs and other shapes.
These can be used to represent water edges, bridges and other scenic features. 
The Draw dialog allows you to choose various shapes (lines, arcs, circles or boxes).
Also, the Delete option allows you to delete lines from the current drawing.
The Color and Line Width can also be specified.
Notes:
-
Lines are drawn by dragging on the layout.
Shift-left-drag will use the end-point of the previous line as the starting
point to create connected line segments.
-
Arcs are drawn in the same manner as curved tracks.
First select the beginning of the arc and drag to specify the beginning angle.
Release and drag again to place the end of the arc.
-
Circles are drawn by selecting the center position and dragging to specify the radius.
-
Boxes are drawn by selecting one corner and dragging the opposite corner.
A box is composed of four lines which may be individually deleted.
-
The line width is specified in pixels for the current drawing scale.
If you Zoom In or Out the lines will be drawn wider or narrower.
XTrkCad treats the segments created with one draw command as separate objects when deleting or selecting
objects.
