Move the cursor and click a location.
■
Enter a distance.
The resulting object is also a closed polyline.
You can draw polylines of various widths by using the Width and Halfwidth options after you specify
a starting point for a polyline. You can also make polyline segments taper.
Once you create a polyline, you can
■
Separate the polyline into independent segments with the EXPLODE command.
■
Join a polyine to another polyline, line or arc with the JOIN command.
