To create a basic delineator line:
- Select the Delineator from the Markers tab in the Tools Palette;
- Click once where you wish to start drawing (don't hold);
- Click at each corner for your line, to drop a control point;
- After you have placed the end point, Right click to stop drawing;
- Right click to clear the cursor.
