Creating Multiple Line

Make a shape already located on the drawing multiple lines by creating polylines after the number of multiple lines and the pitch are specified.
To display a command parameter to be executed, click / of command parameters, or press Tab key or ← / → key on the keyboard.

  1. Point [Line] on [Shape] menu, and click [Multiple Line].
    Then you will be able to create multiple lines.
    2. Supplemental
    ▪ You can enter into the multiple line creating status by clicking on [Shape] toolbar.
  2. Specify whether to create a base line as a shape in [Draw Also Base Line] on Command Window.
    Yes
    The base line will also be created as a shape.
    No
    The base line will not be created as a shape.
  3. Input the number of multiple lines created on the left and right sides of the base line in [No. of Lines on Left Side] and [No. of Lines on Right Side] boxes on Command Window.
    4. Supplemental
    ▪ When inputting 0 for either [No. of Lines on Left Side] or [No. of Lines on Right Side] box, proceed to Step 5 in "When selecting [Same Pitch] in Step 4."
  4. Specify a setting method for multiple line pitches in [Space setting method] box on Command Window.
    Same Pitch
    The pitches between the base line and multiple lines are the same on the left and right sides.
    Different Pitch
    Specifies different pitches between the base line and multiple lines on the left and right sides.
  5. Specify a pitch for multiple lines
    When selecting [Same Pitch] in Step 4,
    Input a pitch for multiple lines in [Space] box on Command Window.
    When selecting [Different Pitch] in Step 4
    Input pitches for multiple lines on the left and right sides in [Space on Left Side] and [Pitch on Right Side] boxes, respectively, on Command Window.

When creating multiple lines using polylines

  1. Switch the parameter on Command Window to [Point Array] box, and click point arrays on the drawing in order.
    Each time you click a point array, multiple lines will be created to connect point arrays with the specified number and pitch, for example a multiple line connecting the first and second point arrays, a multiple line connecting second and third point arrays, and so on.
    2. Supplemental
    ▪ You can specify a point array by inputting X and Y coordinates in [Point Array] box on Command Window .
    ▪ To delete the last input point array, click on Command Window.
  2. Press Enter key on the keyboard, or click on the toolbar on Command Window.
    Specifying point arrays will be complete, and multiple lines will be created.

Making shape located on the drawing multiple lines

  1. Switch the parameter on Command Window to [Shape] box, and click a shape to be used as multiple polylines.
    Selected shapes will be converted to multiple lines with the specified number and pitch.
