I guess this is a noob one. But can´t find any explanation or shortcut to snap it and my lines get too curved.

Thanks.

You could use the line sop and then project it using a ray node if that is what you want.

I could not find a force straight line option on the draw curve. If there isn`t one it might be a good idea to add it. at the very least to the documentation.

If you need straight hand-drawn curves, you can later resample them down to 1 segment.

If you require your curves to remain slightly, well, curvy, you can use more segments in the Resample SOP and then convert the curves to NURBS.
