Advice for creating map lines
Hello,
I would like to add some latitude & longitude lines on my world map in CC3+, for polar circles / equator, etc. Before I botch it, I've got a few questions :
1. Is there a way to force a line to be strictly horizontal or vertical ?
2. If I wanted to make a nice curved line like you get in some world map projections, is there a tool to do that ?
3. any sheet effects you recommend would look nice on lines ?
4. anything I haven't thought of regarding lines ?
Cheers,

2. The Arc tool makes nice curves. Or you can use a smooth path with careful positioning of the nodes.
3. Transparency is generally good to make them less sharp.
4. If you are planning to print, make sure to have an actual line width. 0-wide lines often looks fine on screen, but the higher resolution of the printer tends to make them disappear.
