Hey guys, I apologize in advance if this question was asked before.
But I was wondering, is there anyway to set the degree angle when you hold the shift key when dragging a new line in Photoshop, paint, or any program really.
When you hold shift, the lines are always completely horizontal, vertical, or 45. But I was wondering if you are able to set the angle manually somehow. This would really help with getting that perfect step looking line.
Thanks,
G

Well, if you click once and THEN press shift the next time you click a "straight" line between both clicks points will be drawn.
however if you are needing to draw a precise angle the only way i can think of is just draw the straight line first and rotate it. for being faster you can transform it (ctrl + t) and check the angle in the info window.
remember that if you are working with pixel art you need to set the interpolation to nearest neighbour (edit-preferences-general-interpolation something). otherwise it will all get blurred.
hope that helps and you understand my suckable english.
