Drawing a Straight Line

To draw a single straight line, follow these steps:

The icon is displayed in blue. If this icon is not visible, it may have been replaced by another measurement icon in the same icon group. Click the white arrow below the icon group button to expand it and display all the buttons in the group. See “Overview of Tools Pane Features”.

The Measurement object list appears in the Tools pane. See “Using the Object List”.

On a 2D MPR view screen in the tab, click to set the start point of the line.
The length of the new line is displayed alongside the start point.
Drag your mouse pointer and click again to set the end point.

The line length appears alongside the start point. You can move this label. See “Moving Measurement Labels in Images”.

A line entry is added to the Measurement object list and the button is deactivated in the tool box.

To draw multiple straight lines, in the Tools pane in the tool box, click .

This tool works in the same way as the single line tool but remains activated so that you can keep drawing more lines on an image.
