Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): 6.0, SR 4
Operating System: windows XP Pro

Hi,
I found the information here how to draw a perfect vertical line.
"press shift key + drag one end of the line --> snap line into perfect vertical line.."
Well, this method is working well in origin 6.1 version.
However, I have tried this method in Origin 6.0 version in windows XP.
It is not working..
Can anybody tell me why???
And how can I draw perfect line in version 6.0??
Thanks in advance

Jooho

Hi Jooho,

As I have no 6.0 version on hand, I can't tell if "press shift key + drag one end of the line --> snap line into perfect vertical line." is a new feature in 6.1 or not.
There is a way to create a vertical line with script command. I just tried in 5.0 version. But I think, since it works well in 5.0, it must be fine in 6.0. Here are the steps:
1.Open a new Graph window.
2.Select Window: Script Window menu to open the Script window.
3.Type "draw -n line -l -v 0.5" in the script window, and press Enter key at the end of this line.
You will get a vertical line at the point of X=0.5.

Thanks,
Sammi

Hi Jooho,

The Snap vertical and horizontal buttons on the Arrow toolbar also work fine in Origin 6.0.

Thanks Sammi and Mike
Sammi's method can create vertical line like grid line.
But it is not moving or stretching..

Mike's method..
I didn't not have Arrow toolbar displayed.
So at first, what is arrow toolbar??
Then I found it.. it is working except it is still not stretching..
Thank you
You guys save me a great deal of time..

Jooho
