To insert a lighting pipe object:

  1. Click the Lighting Pipe tool from the Spotlight tool set.

    2. Alternatively, create a polyline and then select the Create Objects from Shapes command (see Créer des objets d'après une forme géométrique).

  2. Click in the drawing area to begin drawing the lighting pipe.

  3. To draw a multi-segment pipe, click to set the end of one segment and start the next.

    4. Create a curved pipe by changing the vertex type (see Dessiner une polyligne).

  4. Double-click to complete the lighting pipe polyline.

The first time you use the tool in a file, a properties dialog box opens. Set the default properties, and click OK. The properties can be edited from the Object Info palette.

To use the lighting pipe as a hanging position, convert it to a hanging position object; see Creating a Hanging Position Object.
