Polyline Tool

Note: This topic is for Document/Medical only.

The polyline annotation object is an array of points that create a sequence of joined lines. In design mode, each line segment is formed with a mouse click, and the object is completed on a double click.

In design mode, click on the object with the right mouse button to do the following:

• Undo the last user action.

• Cut or copy the object to the clipboard.

• Delete the object.

• Select all objects.

• Lock and unlock annotation objects. See Password Dialog Box for Annotations

• Set and manage hyperlink properties for an object or group of objects. Note: The actual management of a hyperlink must be done through low-level implementation. Only the Menu Item "Hyperlink" and an associated event are provided through the automation object. For more information, refer to Implementing Annotation Hyperlinks.

• Bring the object to the front or send it to the back.

• Change the line width and style properties. See Line Dialog Box for Annotations.

• Change the foreground color. See Color Dialog Box for Annotations.
