You can center the pattern
of a linetype on each segment of a polyline, and you can control
how the linetype is displayed on short segments.
If
a line is too short to hold even one dash sequence, the result is
a continuous line between the endpoints, as shown below.
You can accommodate short segments by using
a smaller value for their individual linetype scales. For more information,
see Control Linetype Scale.
For polylines, you can specify whether a linetype
pattern is centered on each segment or is continuous across vertices
throughout the entire length of the polyline. You do this by setting
the PLINEGEN system variable.
To set the linetype display
for all new polylines
- At the Command prompt, enter plinegen.
- Enter 1 to make the
linetype pattern continue throughout the entire length of two-dimensional
polylines, or enter 0 to center the linetype pattern
on each segment.
To change the linetype
display of existing polylines
- Select the polyline whose linetype display
you want to change.
- Click Home tab

- In the Properties palette, click Linetype
