(polylines).
Attach Data
Attach object data to the digitized objects. Click Data To Attach to select
the data source and location.
When you digitize objects, you are prompted for the data for each object.
Prompt For Label Point

label point determines the location of text associated with the object during
queries.
As the objects are digitized, you are prompted for the new label point.
Node Object Settings

process.
Create On Layer
Specify the layer for new node objects. To select from a list of layers in the
drawing set, click Layers. To create a new layer, enter the layer name.
Block Name
Specify the block to reference when creating node objects. To select from
a list of block definitions in the drawing set, click Blocks. To use point
objects, use ACAD_POINT.
Prompt For Rotation
Specify the rotation for each block as it is digitized. If this option is not
selected, objects are not rotated. ACAD_POINT objects cannot be rotated.
Prompt For Scale
Specify the scale for each block as it is digitized. If this option is not selected,
the scale is set to 1. ACAD_POINT objects cannot be scaled.
