Doing Link to draw lines
The line width has to fit to the line width used for the symbols. The standard size is 2.
Choose the line width in a selection box placed in the upper area above the page. A line
that is not connected to a symbol may be done in any line width in the range 1 - 5. But
it needs to be simple connection points to be drawn.
