Summary
A 2D polyline is a connected sequence of segments created as a single planar
object. You can create straight line segments, arc segments, or a combination
of the two.
NOTE A temporary plus-shaped marker displays at the first point. This marker can
be useful when you create long and complicated polylines. It is removed when
you complete the polyline.
The PLINEGEN system variable controls the linetype pattern display around
and the smoothness of the vertices of a 2D polyline. Setting PLINEGEN to 1
generates new polylines in a continuous pattern around the vertices of the
completed polyline. Setting PLINEGEN to 0 starts and ends the polyline with
a dash at each vertex. PLINEGEN does not apply to polylines with tapered
segments.
