Make Grainline

You can use the Make Grainline tool when you want to change an internal contour line (with only 2 points) into a Grainline. In the PDS you can create more than one baseline using the grainline tool. You can then select a different baseline/grainline when creating a style set, when loading a PDS file in the Marker, etc.
