2. Enter the line Start Point coordinates. For example, H: 1.625in and V: 0in.

3. Press Enter.

4. Drag the cursor to the desired location for creating the second line point. For example, drag the line end point to the top rectangle horizontal line.

In this particular case, smartpicking is used for creating the line. In other words, you want the line to be parallel with one of the rectangle lines.

The parallelism symbol appears as shown here.
