List of Prompts
The following prompts are displayed.
Specify start point or [“Break”/“Caps”/“Dragline”/“Snap”/“Width”]: Specify a
point, enter an option, or press Enter
Break
Determines whether a double line breaks when it intersects another double
line, a single line, or an arc.
Caps
Specifies the placement of endcaps on a double line.
The specified ends are capped, whether or not they snap to an object.
Both Places endcaps on both the start point and endpoint of a double line.
End Places an endcap only on the endpoint of a double line.
None Places no endcaps on either the start point or the endpoint of a double
line.
Start Places endcaps only on the start point of a double line.
Auto Breaks an arc or line, including another double line, at the intersection.
Otherwise, places endcaps on both ends of the double line.
Dragline
Draws a double line by locating points centered on or offset from the double
line. You can also draw along the left and right legs of the double line.
A negative value offsets the double line to the left of the located points, the
rubber-band line. A positive number offsets the double line to the right of the
located points.
Snap
Starts or ends a double line by snapping to an existing object. When the Snap
option is on, the Break option determines whether to break the object at the
intersection of the double line.
The Size option specifies the size of a search area, in pixels. The double line
starts or terminates by snapping to the object it finds within the search area
and adjusts each of its legs to form a clean junction with the object. Selecting
the Size option displays the following prompt:
Width
Sets the width of a double line. The width is the perpendicular distance from
one leg of the double line to the other.
