Exercise duration: ~20 minutes

Create and modify multilines

In this exercise you will create a new multiline
style that has multiple elements, colors, fills,
and linetypes to simulate a roadway exhibit.

You will then use the newly created style to

create a multiline.

Learning objectives:

• Create multilines and multiline styles.

The new multiline style

1. Open the Mlines.dwg file, as shown in

4. Use color 253 for the fill color. Create
two outside segments that are solid
lines at a total width of 12 feet and add
a dashed line that runs down the
middle of the style.

Use the Dashed X2 linetype and color

yellow for the middle element and use
Bylayer for color and linetype of both
outside elements, as shown in Figure 4.

5. Create a multiline of approximately 100

feet using the new style, as shown in
Figure 5.
