Options within the command

Start of line
Allows you to begin creating an MLine by specifying the start point.
Set end point
Specifies the endpoint of the MLine segment.
Note: You can continue adding unlimited segments until you press Enter key to end the command.
Last point
Begins creating an MLine from the last point picked.
  1. Last drawn segment
  2. Last point
  3. End point
Justification
Specifies the justification of the MLine relative to the start point.
  1. Start
  2. End
The justification is saved in the CMLJUST variable.
Scale
Specifies the overall scale of the MLine.
The scale is saved in the CMLSCALE variable.
Style
Specifies the style to use for the MLine as defined by the MLSTYLE command. The style is saved in the CMLSTYLE variable.
Follow
Begins creating an MLine from the last drawn line segment, following its angle.
Length of line
Specifies the length of the MLine segment. Picking a point only determines the length since the angle follows the previous segment.
  1. Last drawn segment
  2. Follow
Angle
Specifies the angle of the MLine segment measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.
Length
Specifies the length of the MLine segment.
Angle of line
Specifies the angle of the MLine segment measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.
Undo
Undoes the last MLine segment and continue drawing from its previous start point.
Close
Automatically draw an MLine segment from the end point of the last segment to the start point of the first segment.
