Happy New Year Matthew.
I'm still on Sibelius 6 but assume Sibelius 7 is the same on this:
A wavy glissando line is available in the Lines gallery. So much better than a graphic as of course you can change angle and extend/retract as you wish. Best to right-click and turn off Magnetic Layout on the line so that it is not repelled by the staff.
Even better, download the "Line Between Notes" plug-in (if it doesn't already ship with Sibelius 7). This makes the line magnetic to the notes you select, and will move with transposition etc. And there are options for all kinds of lines (wavy, dashed etc). It can't be used between staves of a grand staff though, so not suitable for those type of harp or piano glissandi.
