Shortening a line.

[Ryno Swart]

Second query:

Shortening a line: Drawing a nice vertical line with the line tool is 
straightforward. But to adjust the line to the right length is 
impossible. The moment the mouse clicks on the handle, the line goes 
off vertical, and it cannot be brought back to vertical. This seems 
counterintuitive and counterproductive. The only way I can adjust this 
line length while keeping it vertical, is to go into the object 
inspector, and to use the height and width adjustors.

Am I missing something?
