RM has finally released the long-awaited line drawing tool that allows you to draw a straight line, with the ability to move the line around before releasing it.

Release notes: https://support.remarkable.com/s/article/Release-notes-overview

I am a little disappointed that they didn't include the ability to draw a circle and have that snap to smooth circle as does the line.

I hope the following upgrades are on the horizon:

Snap-To for squares, rectangles or circles.
The ability to move or extend a line after it's been released.
Pop-up rulers on the horizontal and vertical.

Keep up the great work !!!!!

Line drawing works less than 10% of the time for me. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Draw the line, and hold firmly at the end. Don’t pick up the pen first. when the line snaps, you can move it at angles and once you pick up the pen it’s locked in place

There is a bit of technique to it. Draw a line then at the end of the line, hold the stylus in place and in a second or so the line will snap straight. Once that happens if you keep the stylus on the surface of the RM, you can then move the stylus around and the line will follow.

I noticed that wavy lines will not snap straight if they are too wavy, if that makes sense.
