Hi
I have been using AutoCAD for all my life...I started working on it the same day I went for my interview, and it's been going well since then. I have learned about the multiline command a while after and I felt cheated whenI did. This command saves a lot of time spent on drawing steel sections and brick walls as I do not have to offset lines 10 million times. If this command was active in the ribbon panels my life would have been a lot easier as most time creating sections through buildings was wasted on the offset and trim commands, this was mostly finished after hours.
The commands that I am speaking about is as follows:
These commands were in one of the first releases of AutoCAD if I am not mistaken and will add great value to the Product.
Even though these commands are awesome, it still has a few drawbacks:
- Not in the Ribbon panels *just overstating this...
- Not a dialog box available to choose styles and justification when using the MLine command (have to remember the names of the actual styles created which can become cumbersome if you have a huge list of Multilines. This can also be selected from the command line by using the [?] option.
- Not in the Ribbon panels.
If you don't know what I am talking about then go check this video that I have created about this command (Sorry for no Audio): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpbPHTyXGyk
