Constructing RichLines
You can use RichLines to draw 2 to 16 parallel linear entities. You can create and manage styles for RichLines from Format > RichLine Styles.
To construct RichLine entities:
- Click Draw > RichLine (or type RichLine).
- In the graphics area, click:
- A start point for the RichLine.
- Segment vertices to define the RichLine.
- Press Enter.
After specifying points, you can specify the Close option to close the RichLine entity.
To include justification options when creating RichLines:
When setting justification options, RichLines are drawn relative to the offset specification of the active RichLine Style.
- Click Draw > RichLine (or type RichLine).
- Specify the Justification option.
- Specify an option:
- Bottom: Draws the RichLine segment above the points you select, with the line element with the most negative offset at the specified vertices.
- Top: Draws the RichLine segment below the points you select, with the line element with the most positive offset at the specified vertices.
- Zero: Defines a centerline through the segment points you select.
- In the graphics area, click:
- A start point for the RichLine.
- Segment vertices to define the RichLine.
- Press Enter.
To modify the width of the RichLine:
- Click Draw > RichLine (or type RichLine).
- Specify the Scale option.
- Type a scale factor value.
The default scale factor is 1.0. For example, to halve the width of the RichLine, use a value of 0.5. This scale factor does not affect the overall LineScale factor. - In the graphics area, click:
- A start point for the RichLine.
- Segment vertices to define the RichLine.
- Press Enter.
To select a style when constructing a RichLine:
- Click Draw > RichLine (or type RichLine).
- Specify the Style option.
- Type a style name or specify the ? option to list RichLine Styles.
- In the graphics area, click:
- A start point for the RichLine.
- Segment vertices to define the RichLine.
- Press Enter.
