Question

Drawing a line in Figjam

I can draw a straight line but how do I make it vertically straight. Can I also equally space out lines? TIA

If you’re on a computer, holding down shift will draw the line straight either vertically or horizontally.

The hotkey for tidying up elements (⌥ + ^ + T) unfortunately doesn’t seem to work on lines. It does work on shapes though.

yes I can get a straight line using shift key, but it isn’t vertically aligned :(

Don’t know of a way you can directly draw a diagonal line, but you can rotate another straight line in steps by holding Shift.
