How to use the onscreen line tool

[simonf]

Not being able to move lines will seriously impede any test-takers ability to use the chart. I dont understand why NCEES cant make that work.

If the SHR line cannot be dragged, are we just supposed to eye ball the angle of that slope and draw it on the chart ? Sweet !!!

[joelhuber]

Did no one think to make the line colored? A bright blue or red would definitely provide more contrast.

Can you select a line and drag it from one location to another? For example, if you draw a line on the sensible heat ratio portion of the psych chart, can you drag that line to the actual psych chart?

[JUnnnNnzzZ]

did someone figure out how to draw an exact parallel line for the sensible heat ratio or enthalpy ratio on top left yet ??

@nceesmedia This is great, especially for psychrometric charts. Will lines be able to be red to stand out a bit more than having more black lines on the screen?

@NCEES Media, How do you recommend test-takers practice using this tool? Thanks in advance.

I tried to take a screenshot to use the SHR tool in the top left hand corner. I dont understand how this tool works. Can SHR no longer be used? It seems like this is needlessly difficult. Theres enough uncertainty going around right now. It would be nice to know how we will be able to use a simple tool.

Are there other colors available for lines? it gets messy and hard to identify with all other black grid lines and curves.

Has this tool been updated at all to allow moving lines? Or is this the same functionality in 2024?

Is there a way to practice with this utility when prepping for an exam? It would be good if I can study using this tool, rather than experience it the first time on exam day.

@nceesmedia Can you add the functionality of adding points? and is it 10 lines per I were to plot 3 lines, minimize the window to read the problem again, and then open the pop-up, will the 3 lines still be there? I also agree with others that the lines should be different colors and the ability to drag a line would help save time and add accuracy.

Will it be possible to remove specific lines without having to hit Ctrl z?


i.e. after drawing 3 lines, is there a way to remove only the second line without removing the third line?

[JoshuaLindsey]

If you are color blind is there a way to change line color?

[poisonpotato]

They can't be red?
Or move around?

[makkam]

judging from the comments they have known about the issue of copying lines from the beginning and have yet to fix it smh

[mothana]

The line tool and onscreen chart is module is poorly designed with many system glitches that don't respond to the Ctlr+Z delete clicks. also, there is the inability to parallel line or drag a line for SHR too. it's a pure waste of time and effort for the exam taker. add to that the reference handbook search function doesn't allow the option to search for "whole words only", instead, it will show results from irrelevant parts of words too.

I guess we cannot take our own example problems and personal notebooks now?
