Certain embodiments of the invention include an apparatus for creating a line. Certain embodiments of an apparatus include two or more reels having an extendable and retractable cord. Pulling the two or more reels apart allows for the creation of a line of various sizes. In certain embodiments, the two reels share a single cord. In certain embodiments, a first reel has a first cord with a first attachment end that joins with another attachment end. Certain embodiments include a reel with a magnet, allowing attachment to a magnetic surface. Certain embodiments of the invention include a system for creating a line. In certain embodiments, the system includes an apparatus, and a pin having a magnet. Certain embodiments of the pin help to change the direction of the cord.

The line-marking tool attaches to a pad of paper. The line-marking tool comprises an anchored straight edge, a rotating straight edge, and a slewing bearing. The slewing bearing attaches the rotating straight edge to the anchored straight edge. The anchored straight edge attaches to the pad of paper such that the position of the anchored straight edge relative to the top sheet of the pad of paper is fixed. The anchored straight edge and the rotating straight edge are used to draw straight lines on the top sheet. The slewing bearing adjusts the cant of the rotating straight edge relative to the anchored straight edge such that a cant is formed between a line drawn using the rotating straight edge and a line drawn using the anchored straight edge. The slewing bearing is calibrated to form a precise angle of cant on the top sheet.
