Re: Drawing a straight line
I can't use the line tool (or rectangle tool for that matter) because they both seem to almost skip pixels.

Re: Drawing a straight line
It sounds like the objects could be snapping to the grid setting. There is a Grid Spacing (Pixels) preference (under appearance preferences in my version of RR) which affects this IIRC. Mine is set to 1, and I vaguely remember setting it to that myself in order to ocercome the annoyance you describe. Martin Baxter I can't use the line tool (or rectangle tool for that matter) because they both seem to almost skip pixels.
