TIP: To draw a horizontal or vertical line using the Shape Editor Tool, click the start and end control point. Select the end control point with the Shape Editor Tool , hold down the Shift and Ctrl keys and drag the control point sideways or up and down. You can also drag a select number of angles depending upon your setting in the Page Options dialog (Utilities > Options > General).

Repeat this step with the other line and the larger circle (indicated with the second set of arrows).
