# 2.3.7.4 Draw Table Edge

Creates a Table Edge

With MagneticSnap (Section 2.12.1) enabled, the new line start position will snap to the nearest draw object, as shown by the anchor unless `Alt` is held down. If it is disabled, it will only snap if Alt is held. If GridSnap is enabled and MagneticSnap does not find a postion, the first position will snap to the Grid. This is suppressed if Alt is held.

If `Ctrl` is held down during `Left+Drag` the edge will to a end point of another table edge or to a multiple of 90 degrees if that isn't available.

If Sticky is set for straight draw, after the edge is drawn there will be two text fields on the bottom rail, to allow fine-tuning of the angle and the length. Pressing `Enter` or `Tab` with the cursor in these boxes will apply the value to the edge. Pressing `Space` or `Enter` or `Tab` on the drawing surface will move to drawing a new edge. Pressing `Shift+Tab` on the drawing surface will remove the current object and allow a new one to be drawn. Even if `Esc` is pressed, the edge will already exist, it can be removed with Undo.
