How Can I Draw A Pline Like This ??

[rustysilo]

Here we go. The one on top is during the pline command and the one below after entering. There has to be some sort of variable that controls this appearance.

It is probably an Urban Myth. get the Myth Busters on the job

xcuiwu, why don't you post your .dwg and we'll see if we have the same issue. maybe it's a dwg specific setting.

So far the only thing I have figured is if you create a multiline style with fill turned on.

 

It drives me nuts that we can't figure this one out! I'm sure some Autodesk programmer is reading this thread and laughing his hiney off right about now.

I get a nice clean continous PLINE when I draw one with a width.....

[rustysilo]

The only thing I've found in the help file thus far is this:

Typically, the intersections of adjacent wide polyline segments are beveled. No beveling is performed for nontangent arc segments or very acute angles or when a dot-dash linetype is used.

rusty...a man with a mission.

[gerbaux]

looks like your top lines a single polyline whereas the lower ones multiple polylines.

 

in command bar type pedit

then select one of them, if it says

"Object selected is not a polyline

Do you want to turn it into one? "

 

Press return, and then enter "J" for join,

select the other lines and Right click once,

then enter "W" for width and enter the

width value and press enter twice to exit the

command.

 

skipsophrenic is correct.. its either you use pedit... or just manually fillet each corner. in this way, you can choose which kind of corner you want.

draw your Pline with default linewieght, type "trace" command set trace at 3", trace each segment of Pline start end with the trace and you will get that effect

[eldon]

I think that you will find, that when the trace is completed, all corners are bevelled - exactly what the OP did not want (and he wanted a polyline)

A different approach with a different result for the same problem:
I also want to create Miter corners for complex linetypes and sadly I can’t, but I can apply Rounded corners at least.
If you set the radius of the corners of the polyline to HALF of the Global Width, the corners become rounded.
I got the idea from eldon’s reply.
