Multiple alignments can be selected by holding the 'Shift' or 'Ctrl' keys.

Pick from Current Drawing

Click the option and follow the command prompt. Confirm the selection using key 'Return'.

File

Use this option to select alignment(s) available in ASCII file formats (*.TIT, *.LIN, *.LI, *.INH, and *.DAT).

The dialog box 'Select TenTable' will pop up. Select the file format at the field 'File of Type', browse to the desired file, and click 'Open'.

Multiple alignments can be selected by holding the 'Shift' or 'Ctrl' keys.

After you have made the line with one of the options above, the line is drawn.

Select the configuration from the pull-down menu to change the appearance of the line and click 'OK'.
