You may inadvertently draw a "horizontal" or "vertical" line with this tool. If you do it may not be true horizontal or vertical but only appear that way. Even if you set the line to true horizontal or vertical using the Modify item dialog (by clicking Item > Modify) or by using the Measurements palette, it is too risky to have such an object floating around in your document. One slight click with the mouse and you won't notice it until it is output on film!
