### Changing the Thickness

1. Draw your line as normal, then select Done.
2. The sidebar opens automatically.
3. Scroll down to Thickness.
4. Thickness is set to Default. Select from the options: **Small** or **Large**, or select **Meters** for more control.
5. With Meters selected, use the **+** and **–** buttons to set an exact thickness anywhere from **0.1m to 20m**. The line will update on the map so you can see the change as you click on the different options.
6. When you are happy, select Save.
7. Select Continue drawing to add more to your map layer, or Finished drawing to return to your record or task.

### Extra Info

- You can change a line’s thickness at any time by editing the line and returning to the Thickness options.
- The Meters option is handy when you want a line to match the real width of what it represents, such as a track or spreading run.
