I think it is just a aid for AutoCAD users it appears to filter to continuous lines.

So it seems if it can recognize polylines, it Thu, 23 May 2013 21:44:19 GMT Tracks (Russell Masters) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/visualcadd/message/28206 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/visualcadd/message/28206 Hey Jim. If you want just straight lines then it would be a continuous line entity. If you want curves then a continuous bezier. You can achieve straight lines Thu, 23 May 2013 17:23:09 GMT EMB http://groups.yahoo.com/group/visualcadd/message/28205 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/visualcadd/message/28205 A polyline is defined as "a connected sequence of arcs and lines that is treated as a single entity" I think the closest thing in Visual CADD would be a set of Thu, 23 May 2013 14:41:47 GMT Clarke_Is_Here http://groups.yahoo.com/group/visualcadd/message/28204 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/visualcadd/message/28204 Thanks to all for the ideas.

When I import drawings from solid works the lines sometimes come in as polylines. I remember polylines from autocad , but Wed, 22 May 2013 11:59:12 GMT dewetmore@... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/visualcadd/message/28202 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/visualcadd/message/28202 I use a line of text "x---x---x---x---x"  to draw fences... cumbersome but works, keep a section of text as a symbol and  place multiple segments or edit Tue, 21 May 2013 23:59:59 GMT Hal Roenick http://groups.yahoo.com/group/visualcadd/message/28201 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/visualcadd/message/28201 Clark, There is no real way to create such line types in V CADD. Scalz does have some tools to create this kind of effect. In Scalz you can draw arcs, lines Tue, 21 May 2013 22:02:17 GMT Russell Masters http://groups.yahoo.com/group/visualcadd/message/28200 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/visualcadd/message/28200 Hi Clarke, No sorry the linetype only supports lines and dots that run along the length of the line.

About the time I was born it's emblem was a cute image of a infant boy.
