Create line segments on a line layout

Segments are parallel subpaths in the line. So you must first set up entities that are in parallel. When creating parallel subpaths in a line, each subpath must contain the same number of entities.

1. Create a parallel structure that includes each of the entities that are at the start of the line segments.

   

2. Drag an entity from the Available Entities list to the parallel entity that it should follow in the line segment.

   

   The entity is added to the line segment.

   

3. Drag another entity from the Available Entities list to the other initial parallel entity in the line segment.

   

   The entity is added to that line segment.

   

4. Continue adding entities to each line segment as needed by dragging the new entity and dropping it on the last entity in the line segment.

   To add an additional line segment in parallel with the others, drag an entity to the Add in Parallel box below the line segments. This will start another line segment to which you can add its entities.

Segments are ordered alphabetically according to the entities at the first position of the segments. Therefore, changing the first entity in a segment could cause the segments to be reordered.
