## Draw Polyline

Shortcut: P, L
Commands: polyline | pl

Description:

This tool lets you draw polylines. A polyline is a continuous line formed from one or more connected line or arc segments.
Please note that it is almost always more convenient to use the regular line and arc tools to draw a new polyline. The loosely connected line and arc segments can then be converted into a polyline entity using the 'Create Polyline from Segments' tool.

Procedure:

1. Specify the start point of the first polyline segment. You can use the mouse or enter a coordinate in the console.
2. Specify the endpoint of the first polyline segment.
3. Specify the endpoints of additional polyline segments.

If the polyline contains arc segments, you can tick the 'Arc' check box and enter the arc radius in the options tool bar when setting the endpoint of an arc segment. The arc will connect smoothly (tangential) to the last segment.
