Import CAD Linetypes
AutoLINE will import on demand all of the linetypes that exist in the current drawing, allowing you to modify them through the AutoLINE interface or to control their appearance.
Override Linetypes
Need to make a quick change to a linetype but only for this one object? AutoLINE will allow you to modify the linetype properties without saving them to your .lin file.
Rotation Option: Right or Bottom
AutoLINE can force text or blocks to always face to the bottom or right of the drawing ensuring that they are always legible.
Transparency Masks
AutoLINE can draw a mask behind a linetype that creates space around it so that when lines overlap you can clearly see them while getting a sense of visual priority. Masks can be transparent or opaque.
Use Blocks Instead of Shapes
AutoLINE allows blocks in linetypes instead of shapes. Blocks are easier to create and can be modified easily to change the appearance of the linetype. Blocks offer many additional benefits like fills, differing layers and colors, and differing X and Y scale.
Multiple Parallel Lines
AutoLINE allows any number of parallel lines in linetypes making possible a whole range of lines such as roads, walls, and barriers. With AutoCAD you must use a separate command, MLINE, that won't draw curves.
Blocks or Negative Dashes can be first in Linetype Definition
AutoLINE allows you to have a block, text, or negative dash first in the linetype definition, not just a positive, non-zero dash first like AutoCAD-style linetypes
Use LISP Expressions
AutoLINE allows you to include LISP expressions in the linetype definition for greater flexibility, including for Text, Rotation, and Scaling
Dialog Create/Modify
AutoLINE makes it easy to create and modify new linetypes. With dialog box functionality all you do is point and click. Creating shapes is easy too because AutoLINE will convert all your blocks into shapes for inclusion in AutoCAD-style linetypes.
Combine Two Linetypes Into One
AutoLINE will combine two linetypes into one object, for greater flexibility
Better Options for Rotating Text and Blocks
AutoLINE can make sure that text is always drawn the way you want, without appearing upside down or backwards
