1 Multilines Multilines are combinations of parallel lines consisting of up to 16 individual lines called elements. Like polylines, several connected multiline segments form a single object. Multilines are drawn using the MLINE tool and are modified using the MLEDIT tool. MLINE Type MLINE ML Drawing Multilines The MLINE tool prompts and options are similar to those for the LINE tool. Select the Undo option to undo the previously drawn multiline segment. Use the Close option at the last prompt to close a polygon. A multiline configuration, or style, is set using the MLSTYLE tool. The default multiline style has two open-ended parallel lines. Multiline styles configure the multiline display and are described later in this supplement. Multiline Justification Multiline justification determines how multiline elements offset from their definition points. Justification is based on counterclockwise movement and can be specified only once during an MLINE tool sequence. To change the justification, choose the Justification option at the first prompt displayed after you enter the MLINE tool. Then select the Top (default), Zero, or Bottom option. Figure 4A-1 shows the results of each option. multiline: A single object consisting of up to 16 parallel line elements. elements: The individual lines that make up a multiline. definition points: The points you pick or coordinates you enter to specify multilines.

The definition points (represented by plus symbols) are picked in a counterclockwise rotation. 2,6 6,6 2,6 6,6 2,6 6,6 Start point 2,2 6,2 2,2 6,2 2,2 6,2 Start point Top Justification Zero Justification Bottom Justification PROFESSIONAL TIP As shown in Figure 4A-1, the multiline Justification options control the direction of the offsets for elements of the current style. The multiline segments in these examples are drawn in a counterclockwise direction. Unexpected results can sometimes occur when you use the MLINE tool, depending on the justification and drawing direction. 1. Start if it is not already started. 3. Use the MLINE tool and its Justification options to draw three objects similar to the ones shown in Figure 4A Observe the difference in the Justification options. 5. Save the drawing as ACT4A-1. Adjusting Multiline Scale The Scale option of the MLINE tool defines the offset distance between multiline elements. Scale is a multiplier applied to the offset distance specified in the multiline style. The default scale setting of 1 sets the distance between multiline elements equal to 1 times the offset distance. For example, the default STANDARD multiline style creates two parallel lines 1 unit apart. When the multiline scale is set to 1, the distance between the lines is 1 (1 1 = 1). If the Copyright by Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Multilines, page 2

3 multiline scale is set to 2, the distance between the two lines is 2 (1 2 = 2). Scale examples are shown in Figure 4A Continue from 1 or start. 3. Use the MLINE tool and the Scale option to draw four objects similar to the ones shown in Figure 4A Observe the differences among the multiline scales. 5. Save the drawing as ACT4A-2. MLSTYLE Type MLSTYLE Creating Multiline Styles Access the MLSTYLE tool to display the Multiline Style dialog box dialog. See Figure 4A-3. Use the Multiline Style dialog box to define, edit, and save multiline styles. You can save styles to an external file for use in other drawings. The Preview of: area in the lower part of the Multiline Style dialog box displays a representation of the selected multiline style. Figure 4A-2. Multiline scale settings.

List of available styles Description of selected style Preview of selected style Sets the selected style current Creates a new style Modifies the selected style Renames the selected style Deletes the selected style Allows you to import a style from an external file Saves the selected style to an external file To create a new multiline style, pick the New button to display the Create New Multiline Style dialog box. See Figure 4A-4. In the New Style Name: text box, enter a name for the new multiline style. To use the properties from an existing style for the new style, select the existing style from the Start With: drop-down list. Enter the new style name and pick the Continue button to open the New Multiline Style dialog box. See Figure 4A-5. Use the optional Description: field to enter a brief description of the multiline style. Using Caps, Fill, and Joints The settings in the Caps area of the New Multiline Style dialog box control the placement of caps on multilines. Use the check boxes to set caps at the start point, endpoint, or both. Figure 4A-6 shows several examples of cap options. Caps can be drawn as straight lines or arcs. Arcs can be set to connect the ends of the outermost elements only, pairs of inner elements, or both the outer and inner elements. The multiline style must contain at least two multiline elements for outer arcs to be drawn. Arcs are drawn tangent to the elements they connect. You can caps: Short lines connecting the elements of a multiline at the start point and endpoint. Copyright by Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Multilines, page 4

Various cap options for multilines. Caps Off Line Caps On Outer Arcs On Inner Arcs On 90 Angle Caps Off 45 Angle Caps Off 45 Angle Line Caps On Copyright by Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Multilines, page

6 also change the angle of the caps relative to the direction of the multiline elements by entering values in the Angle: text boxes. There is a text box for the start points and another for the endpoints, so you can set the styles independently. The Fill color: setting in the Fill area allows you to create a solid multiline. When the Fill color: setting is None, the multiline is not filled. To specify the fill color, select a color from the Fill color: drop-down list. See Figure 4A-7. Check Display joints: to display multiline joints, also referred to as miters. See Figure 4A-8. Setting Element Properties The Elements area of the New Multiline Style dialog box allows you to add or delete elements (lines) from the multiline style and specify the properties of each element. The options in this area change properties such as linetype, color, and offset. After you set element properties, pick OK to apply them to the new multiline style. The new style is added to the Multiline Style dialog box. Changing the Multiline Style To use a saved multiline style as the current multiline style, access the STyle option of the MLINE tool and enter the style name. Before you can access a new multiline style, however, you must create and save it using the Multiline Style dialog box. If you forget the name of the desired multiline style, you can enter? at the Enter mline style name or [?]: prompt. The text window opens, listing the currently loaded multiline styles. See Figure 4A-9. Type the name of the style you want to use. If you try to specify a multiline style that is not loaded, the Load multiline style from file dialog box appears. You can look for the desired multiline style in the acad.mln file library, or you can pick the Tools button and then Find to open the Find: dialog box. Figure 4A-7.

8 MLEDIT Type MLEDIT Editing Multilines The MLEDIT tool allows limited editing operations for multiline objects using the Multilines Edit Tools dialog box. See Figure 4A-10. This dialog box contains four columns. Each column contains three buttons of related tool options. The image on each button gives you an example of what to expect when using the editing option. When you pick a button, the dialog box closes and prompts you to continue with the tool. Editing Intersections The first (left) column in the Multilines Edit Tools dialog box displays three different types of multiline intersections. Pick a button to create the type of intersection shown. Figure 4A-11 shows the effects of the cross options. Figure 4A-10. The Multilines Edit Tools dialog box has twelve different options for editing multilines. Cross options Tee options Cutting and welding options Corner joint and vertex options Copyright by Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Multilines, page

9 When you pick the Closed Cross button, the first multiline you select is called the background, and the second multiline is called the foreground. A closed cross intersection forms by trimming the background, while the foreground remains unchanged. The trimming is apparent, not actual. The line visibility of the background multiline changes, but it is still a single multiline. Select the Open Cross button to trim all the elements of the first multiline and only the outer elements of the second multiline. The tool sequence is the same as that used for the Closed Cross option. The Merged Cross button allows you to trim the outer elements of both multilines. The inner elements do not change. 1. Continue from 3 or start. 3. Use the MLINE and MLEDIT tools to do the following, using Figure 4A- 11 as an example. A. Draw three sets of two intersecting multilines. B. Use the Closed Cross option to edit the first set of multilines. C. Use the Open Cross option to edit the second set. D. Use the Merged Cross option to edit the third set. 4. Save the drawing as ACT4A-4. Figure 4A-11. Creating closed cross, open cross, and merged cross intersections with the MLEDIT tool. Original Crossing Multilines Closed Cross Open Cross Merged Cross First pick Second pick background: The first multiline you select to create a closed cross intersection. foreground: The second multiline you select to create a closed cross intersection. Copyright by Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Multilines, page

10 Editing Tees The buttons in the second column of the Multilines Edit Tools dialog box allow you to edit multiline tees. Figure 4A-12 illustrates the results of using the tee options. Pick the Closed Tee button to trim or extend the first selected multiline to its intersection with the second multiline. Select the Open Tee button to trim the elements where a trimmed or extended multiline intersects another multiline. The first pick specifies the multiline to trim or extend, and the second pick specifies the intersecting multiline. The intersecting multiline is trimmed and left open where the two multilines join. Pick the Merged Tee button to trim the intersecting multiline after the first multiline is trimmed or extended. The inner elements, however, remain joined. This creates an open appearance with the outer elements, while merging the inner elements. Figure 4A-12. Using the tee options of the MLEDIT tool to edit multiline tees. Original Multilines Closed Tee Open Tee Merged Tee First pick or Second pick Copyright by Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Multilines, page 10

11 1. Continue from 4 or start. 3. Use the MLINE and MLEDIT tools to do the following, using Figure 4A- 12 as an example. A. Draw three sets of two multilines that meet, or nearly meet, at a tee. B. Use the Closed Tee option to edit the first set of multilines. C. Use the Open Tee option to edit the second set. D. Use the Merged Tee option to edit the third set. 4. Save the drawing as ACT4A-5. Editing Corner Joints and Multiline Vertices The buttons in the third column of the Multilines Edit Tools dialog box provide options for creating corner joints and editing multiline vertices. Pick the Corner Joint button to create a corner joint between two multilines. The first multiline trims or extends to its intersection with the second multiline. See Figure 4A-13. Select the Add Vertex button to add a vertex to an existing multiline at the location you pick. See Figure 4A-14. The tool sequence differs slightly from the sequences used with the other MLEDIT options. After you select the Add Vertex option, prompts you to pick a location for the vertex. Figure 4A-13. A corner joint can be created between two multilines using the Corner Joint option of the MLEDIT tool. Pick the second multiline Pick the first multiline Crossing Multilines Multilines after Using the Corner Joint Option Copyright by Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Multilines, page 11

12 Pick the Delete Vertex button to remove a vertex from an existing multiline. The vertex closest to the location you pick is deleted. Refer again to Figure 4A-14. The tool sequence is the same as for the Add Vertex option. 1. Continue from 5 or start. 3. Use the MLINE and MLEDIT tools to do the following: A. Draw multilines similar to the unedited objects shown in Figure 4A-13. Use the Corner Joint option to create an object similar to the edited example. B. Draw multilines similar to the unedited objects shown in Figure 4A- 14. Use the Add Vertex and Delete Vertex options to create objects similar to the edited examples. 4. Save the drawing as ACT4A-6. Cutting and Welding Multilines The fourth column of buttons in the Multilines Edit Tools dialog box is used for cutting a portion out of a single multiline element or the entire multiline. The spaces between multiline elements can also be connected, or welded. Figure 4A-14. The Add Vertex and Delete Vertex options of the MLEDIT tool are used to edit multiline vertices. Vertex is added at pick location Vertex closest to pick location is deleted Multiline before Vertex Is Added Multiline after Vertex Is Added Multiline before Vertex Is Deleted Multiline after Vertex Is Deleted cutting: The process of deleting a portion of a multiline element or an entire multiline. welding: The process of connecting the spaces between multiline elements. Copyright by Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Multilines, page 12

13 Pick the Cut Single button to cut a single multiline element between two specified points. See Figure 4A-15. Cutting affects only the visibility of elements and does not separate a multiline object. The multiline is still a single object. After you select the Cut Single option, prompts you to pick the cutting points. Select the Cut All button to cut all elements of a multiline between specified points. Refer again to Figure 4A-15. The multiline is still a single object, even though it appears to be separated. Pick the Weld All button and select a point on each side of the cut multiline to repair all cuts in the multiline. The multiline is restored to its precut condition. PROFESSIONAL TIP Multiline objects can be converted to individual line segments with the EXPLODE tool. 1. Continue from 6 or start. 3. Use the MLINE and MLEDIT tools to do the following: A. Draw multilines similar to those illustrated on the left in Figure 4A-15. B. Use the Cut Single and Cut All options to create objects similar to the edited multilines shown. C. Use the Weld All option to restore the multilines to their original conditions. 4. Save the drawing as ACT4A-7. Figure 4A-15. The MLEDIT cutting options allow you to cut single multiline elements or entire multilines between two specified points.
