To specify the properties of the entire multiline
1 From the Format menu, choose Multiline Style.
2 In the Multiline Styles dialog box, choose Multiline Properties.
3 In the Multiline Properties dialog box, select Display Joints to display a
line at the vertices of the multiline.
4 Under Caps, select a line or an arc for each end of the multiline, and enter
an angle.
Lines cross the end of the whole multiline, and outer arcs join the ends of
the outermost elements. Inner arcs connect pairs of elements, leaving the
centerline unconnected if there is an odd number of elements. For
example, if there are six elements, inner arcs connect elements 2 and 5
and elements 3 and 4. If there are seven elements, inner arcs connect
elements 2 and 6 and elements 3 and 5; element 4 is left unconnected.
5 Under Fill, select On to display a background color.
This color is not displayed in the image tile of the Multiline Styles dialog
box.
6 Choose Color.
