you do realize that the MLine command hasn't been touched since Release 13, way back in the 1990's?

[Rodion]

yes, because something better has not been invented... for drawing the walls. maby only by the BIM & Revit and it does not work for 100% if you work on wark-drawings of big buildings and you dont need the 3D.

[cadtag]

well, you could look at Draftsight... fror free software it's pretty good, and the RichLine feature probably does everything you wish that MLines did.

does it work with xRef's like AutoCAD?

[Ed Jobe]

If you just want something simple. There was an old express tools lisp called dline.lsp. I've posted it here. It draws double lines and it will do arcs as well. I used to use it for drawing conduits.

I believe so -- but since it's free, check it out and see the limitations for yourself.
