How do you Draw Polylines in GstarCAD?

Answer 1

You can create a series of line segment using LINE command

A line consists of two points: a start point and an endpoint. You can connect a series of lines, but each line segment is considered a separate line entity.

In a simple line which is connected by several line segment,each line segment is considered a separate line entity,each line segment can be editted seperately and doesn't effect other line segment.

You can specify line properties,including color.line type.

Use polyline objects instead of line objects if you want the segments to be connected as a single object.

Answer 2

A polyline is a connected sequence of segments created as a single object. You can create straight line segments, arc segments, or a combination of the two.

You can draw polylines of various widths by using the Width and Halfwidth options. You can set the width of individual segments and make them taper gradually from one width to another. These options become available after you specify a starting point for the polyline.

Answer 3

Sketching is useful for creating irregular boundaries or for tracing with a digitizer.

You can use the sketch command to draw freehand sketches. Sketching is useful for creating irregular boundaries or for tracing with a digitizer.

Create Sketches

To sketch, use the pointing device like a pen, clicking to put the "pen" down on the screen to draw and clicking again to lift it up and stop drawing. Freehand sketches comprise many line segments. Each line segment can be a separate object or a polyline. You set the minimum length or increment of the segments. Small line segments allow for greater accuracy, but they can greatly increase the drawing file size. For this reason, use this tool sparingly.

Before sketching, check the CELTYPE system variable to make sure the current linetype is BYLAYER. If you use a linetype with dots or dashes and set the sketch line segment shorter than the spaces or dashes, you won't see the spaces or dashes.
