2D Polyline
Function
A 2D polyline is a line of connected
points that have the same elevation. This command lets you
digitize a 2D polyline by picking points along the lines on the
drawing. It prompts you first the Polyline
2D Options Dialog for
entering the layer name. Prompt For
Polyline Elevation option allows you to enter the elevation for
each polyline, otherwise all 2D polylines have 0.0 elevation.
Auto-Zoom mode would
automatically zoom the display to center around the last point when you
get near the edge of the screen while picking points. There are three
ways to enter a layer
name, Use current drawing layer,
Select
from a list of layer name, or Pick
an entity
on the screen to get its layer name. While digitizing a polyline, the
command
keeps prompting you to pick next point until your press Enter to
finish digitizing, or press A
on the puck or enter Close on
the keyboard to close the polyline on itself . If you make a mistake, press B
on the puck or enter
Undo on the keyboard to remove the mistake and then continue to
digitize. After finishing a polyline, the command prompts your to
digitize another polyline until you press
