4. Click the Close Text Editor button in the Close panel to execute the
changes and close the Multiline Text tab.
5. Click the center line symbol to activate the grips. Click the lower-
middle grip, and then click the upper end of the center line.
This locates the symbol properly.
6. Turn off running osnaps, be sure Polar Tracking is on, and click the
same grip you did in the previous step. Move the symbol up slightly
to create a space between it and the center line (see Figure 12.71).
This completes the exercise. You can save the drawing if you wish.
