Have you ever tried to use the
Multiline command and edit any of those objects?
Way too complex for the casual user to comprehend.
Save yourself the trouble if you need to simply draw two parallel lines for
some walls and use the PostalCAD wall utilities.
The PostalCAD wall utility uses the old, tried and true, Dline command.
This command allows you to set the width, break intersecting lines, and cap
off the open ends of the lines being drawn with a few command line options.
PostalCAD will even put the lines on the right layer for you!
Go to your Layout menu pull-down and expand the Architectural listing.
Now, go to the Walls cascade and chose which preset wall type and width that
you need. If you pick the Wall listing at the top you can place both
interior and exterior walls on the same layer at any width you desire using
the Width option at the command line. The other listings will draw the
lines at preset intervals on the corresponding layers.
Most of the command line options are easy to understand and can be mastered
within a few minutes.
The Dragline allows you to justify where the lines are drawn relative to
your cursor position.
Combine these wall tools with the PostalCAD Clean intersection and
Multi-Offset commands and you can layout an entire set of offices within an
hour or two at the most.
