How to Draw a Line in Adobe InDesign

Use this interactive demo to learn how to draw a line in Adobe InDesign.

Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to draw a line using anchor points in Adobe InDesign:

‍

  1. To draw a line in Adobe InDesign, go to the left-hand toolbar and click the 'Pen' Tool.
  2. Using the tool, add your first anchor point, which will serve as the starting point for drawing your line.‍
  3. Placea second point to create a line between the two points. This way, you have successfully drawn a line using anchor points.

📌 Why this matters

Drawing lines with the Pen tool gives you complete control over stroke weight, color, and style—something you can't achieve with basic shape tools. These custom lines become the foundation for creating complex illustrations, technical diagrams, and precise layouts within your design.

Beyond simple connecting elements, pen-drawn lines can be converted into guides, used as cutting paths, or serve as the backbone for more sophisticated vector artwork. You're essentially creating scalable elements that maintain their quality regardless of document size or print resolution.
