Draw Polyline
Function Description
The Draw Polyline command is used to draw a continuous line object composed of multiple types of segments. The line object drawn with this function can consist of polylines, B-Spline Curves, Cardinal curves, or three-point arcs. You can switch the segment type among these four during the drawing process. Line objects are primarily used to describe polylines, such as rivers, railways, roads, power lines, etc.
