Can a multiline have global width?

I am trying to create a multiline that contains 3 lines to illustrate a pipe- One in the center with a global width and two offset lines for the outer wall of the pipe. I can't find an option for line width in the MLSTYLE dialog box. We have a text editor that defines the multilines in code; I can't find anywhere that interprets this code. Any ideas?

Multilines don't have a global width setting similar to a polyline.

 

Multilines will honor Lineweights for plotting but the lineweight setting applied will be the same for all segments.

 

It seems this may be possible if using a CTB pen table for plotting which controls the weight strictly by color.

 

An "Element Color" can be specified (per element) within the Multiline style dialog box.

I haven't tried this but it seems like it should work.

Why not use a pipe style?
