drawing a line without the rounded end

[Ema]

Hi all,

I was just wondering how to draw a line that doesn't have the rounded ends? Flash seems to do this automatically and I don't know how to turn it off.

Thanks!

That's how vector lines are drawn. If you don't want the rounded edges, just make really skinny rectangles instead of lines. If you want curvy lines without the rounded ends, put really tiny squares at the ends of them (you can make the rectangles/squares without outlines).

You can also use the "Convert Lines to Fills" menu option. Go to the menus at the top: Modify -> Shape -> Convert Lines to Fills. This will convert any lines you have selected to fills (if you don't understand the difference between lines and fills, try doing different stuff with lines and the things you make using the shape tools, which are fills). Then, you can square the ends on your newly-converted "lines".
