Global width axis of Pline in AutoCAD

Anonymous — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 20:06:05 GMT

Hello, Community!.

I have a problem about global width axis.

When I set to some global width value on my pline, Pline of width will be created to vertical, not horizontal.

So, When I move to Top view, I can see the line such as "global width2.JPG(I attach it).

Can I rotate line axis?.

I don't know that line has axis.

I attach image my problem for reference.

Hi,

a polyline is (primary) a 2D-object (as long as it's not a 3D-polyline), and the global-width only is a width, but not a height.

If you want to control the "height" of a linear object then look to the "thickness" property:
