The 2 group codes in mline entities and MLINESTYLE
objects are redundant fields. These groups should not be modified
under any circumstances, although it is safe to read them and use
their values. The correct fields to modify are
- Mline
-
The 340 group in the same object, which indicates
the proper MLINESTYLE object.
- Mlinestyle
-
The 3 group value in the MLINESTYLE dictionary,
which precedes the 350 group that has the handle or entity name
of the current mlinestyle.
