DLine command missing?

[Anonymous]

I am unable to use the dline command in autocad 2019. It doesn't show up at all. Not sure why or if I have done anything wrong.

Hi @Anonymous  Dline command is no longer included with new version of cad.  You can try the mline command or you can try the lisp for dline I am including in this post.

Never heard of dline.

"MLINE" should do what you want... or see the lisp provided by @user181.

Ha. That's because it's an old lisp file from the early 1990s, and it was deprecated about 20 years ago. Autodesk does like to say things are going away but then they never really kill it, e.g. the screen menu and blipmode. Other things such as the text labels in the status bar just vanish with no warning.

@Anonymous DLINE is an Autocad LT command. As others above have pointed out Autocad has the MLINE command or the DLINE.lsp file posted by user181.

@rkmcswain You can add the DLINE command to your list of things that Autodesk never really killed. It has been a core Autocad LT command for quite awhile.

MLINE for similar functions.

MLSTYLE to set up different styles to use in MLINE.
