Top : Draw multiple lines under the cross cursor. The maximum positive offset line appears at the specified point.
Zero : Place the cross cursor to origin and draw multiple lines. The "elements" options of the MLSTYLE command could specify the offset to 0.0.
Bottom : Draw multiple lines above the cross cursor. The line with maximum negative offset appears at the specified point.
Scale:
Control the whole width of multiple lines. It does not affect the linetype scale.
The scale is based on width created in multiple line style. When the scale is specified to 2, the width is double of defined value. The negative scale will overturn the order of lines: when drawing multiple lines from left to right, the minimum offset lines will be drawn on the top. The absolute value of negative scale factor will affect the scale. Specify scale factor to 0, it makes multiple lines become a single straight line.
