Hi Guys
I am trying to do thick diagonal lines that are the latest crazy on websites. I looked for the tutorials but can find only 1 pixel sized diagonal lines.

But I require diagonal lines of 3 or 4 pixels. Can someone tell me how I go about doing this?

Thanks

Use the Line Tool, it is found in the shapes pullout and is part of the vector shapes (U or Shift+U). Constrain to 45degrees by pressing Shift.

use the select rectangle tool. Set it to constrained size 3 or 4 px whatever you want and the length to whatever. Fill it with desired color, then press ctrl+Tand move it around until its in whatever direction you want it.

I've always had problems with it but each to his own.

yeah, thats basically it :-p, but you could also use the polygonal lasso tool and make a straight selection by hitting shift.
