Connecting the lines with polyline
Drawing polylines composed of straight segments is much like drawing with the Line command, as shown in the steps in this section. The PLine command has a lot more options, however, so watch the prompts. If the Dynamic Input feature is on, press the down-arrow key to see the options listed near the cursor, or right-click to display the PLine right-click menu, or simply read the command line.
To draw a polyline composed of straight segments, follow these steps:
1 Click the Polyline button on the Draw panel of the Ribbon, or type PL at the command line and press Enter.AutoCAD starts the PLine command and prompts you to specify a start point.
2 Specify the starting point by clicking a point or typing coordinates.Now you truly do need to read the command line, because the Dynamic Input tooltip at the cursor doesn’t display any of the options. You can right-click or press the down-arrow key to see a list of the options at the cursor, as shown in Figure 6-2, but it’s usually faster to use the command line.AutoCAD displays the current polyline segment line width at the command line and prompts you to specify the other endpoint of the first polyline segment:Current line-width is 0.0000Specify next point or [Arc Halfwidth Length Undo Width]:
