Free-draw lines in LPAs are limited to how many segments?

Free-draw lines in LPAs are limited to how many segments?

• A. One or two segments
• B. Three segments
• C. Unlimited segments
• D. Exactly five segments

Answer: (A)

Free-draw lines in LPAs are kept simple on purpose. The drawing tool allows only one straight segment or one bend, meaning you can have a straight line or an L-shaped line, but not a polyline with multiple turns. This keeps lines clean and readable and matches how these shapes are encoded and displayed across Link 16 interfaces. If a more complex outline is needed, you can use multiple simple lines or standard shapes instead of a single, multi-segment free-draw line.
