A SPLINE is a smooth curve, which passes through or near a given set of points, . You can draw a spline by specifying series of points , start tangents and end tangents. You can use two methods for creating splines: Create spline curves with the... Read More

A joined sequence of arcs (ARC)and lines (LINE), treated as a single entity is called a polyline (PLINE). A polyline can be drawn with any LINETYPE and its width can be kept constant or tapered with over the length of any segment. You can modify the... Read More

Multiline objects are created by using the MLINE command. A multiline is composed of 1-16 parallel lines (two lines by default). The STANDARD style for drawing a multiline has two elements. You can create new styles and modify their definition by... Read More

A polyline (PLINE) is a single object with connected sequence of line segments or and arc segments. You can set the global width of polyline and the starting and ending width for each segments. When you draw a polyline, you can switch to arc by... Read More

You can use the LINE command to generate one or a series of continuous line segments. Each segment is a separate line object, you can assign properties such as COLOR , LINETYPE and lineweight (LWEIGHT) to each line. If you want to connect the... Read More

In order to speed up performance, the display of certain kinds of objects can be simplified. If you display wide polylines (PLINE) and donuts (DONUT), solid-filled polygons, hatches (HATCH), gradient fills, and TEXT in a simplified form, the display... Read More

To change the LWEIGHT of an object, you can do : If an object's lineweight is set to BYLAYER, move it to another layer with a different lineweight, the object will acquire the lineweight of the new layer. If an object's lineweight is set... Read More

The current LWEIGHT is the lineweight used for newly drawing object. You can make another lineweight current according to your requirement. The current lineweight you are using to draw objects is displayed in the Lineweight control on the Properties... Read More

You can turn on and off Lineweights in a drawing use the LWT on the status bar . The plotting of lineweights is not affected by this setting. In model space, a 0-value LWEIGHT is displayed as one pixel. Regeneration time increases with lineweights... Read More

Lineweights are width values of graphical objects and some types of text. You can use lineweights to draw heavy and thin lines. For example, heavy lines for walls in architecture drawing but thin lines for them in electrical drawing. Lineweights are... Read More
