Draw Double Lines
Each double-line segment and its endcap, a line that connects the double-line
endpoints, is actually a separate line object that can be individually edited.
Double lines provide a good way to draw walls in floor plans. Each double-line
segment and its endcap, a line that connects the double-line endpoints, is
actually a separate line object that can be individually edited.
You can draw double lines as straight segments or as arcs. The width determines
the amount of distance between the lines. You can specify the width before
you draw the double line or after you specify the first point.
Control Placement of Double Lines
The dragline is a rubber-band line that determines the placement of a double
line. You can control whether the double line is centered on or offset to the
right or left of the dragline.
A negative offset value positions the offset side of the double line to the left
of the specified points; a positive value positions the offset side to the right.
Determine the left and right by imagining that you are standing at the start
point of the line and looking at the endpoint.
Set the Appearance of Endpoints
The ends of double lines can be open, closed, or different on each end. When
endcaps are turned on, the program connects, or caps, the specified ends. The
Auto option automatically caps only the ends that are not snapped to an
object.
Control the Appearance of Intersections
You can specify whether DLINE creates a break in a double line, line, or arc
when you snap a double line to it. If the Caps option is on, the gap may not
be visible.
