Thanks Paul I appreciate that. There are usually 2 or 3 ways to perform any function and I choose the line of least resistance! Yes, I understand you can make it any length you want, I was just hoping I could make it an exactly 'measured' line, e.g. 3.25 inches.

But you can! With the line selected, simply change its size in the Size panel of the Drawing Tools tab.
