Start and End Blocks

These blocks appear only at the start and end of lines, and can be different

Blocks On Vertices

If a block is first in the linetype definition and the Alignment is either Constant or Segment, a block will be placed on every vertice

Blocks Only On Vertices

If a block is first in the linetype definition and the dash spacing is large enough, blocks will only appear on the vertices

Blocks Can Have Wipeouts

If you want to make sure that overlapping linetypes don't intersect, include wipeouts in blocks.  These objects use reference linetypes with wipeouts in the base linetype.

 

Blocks Can Have Fill

Blocks can include hatches, traces, or wide polylines.

Blocks Can Be On Different Layers

Components of blocks can be on a different layer than the line.  A block could have different layers for different zoom levels.

Blocks Can Have Different Color and Lineweight

Components of blocks have a different color or lineweight than the linetype

 

Blocks Can Have Different X and Y Scale

A single block definition can be used in multiple situations by varying the X and Y scale

 

CAD Linetypes Can Be Used Within Blocks

Freely combine regular CAD linetypes within AutoLINE linetypes

AutoLINE Linetypes Can Be Used Within Blocks

For even greater flexibility you can use AutoLINE linetypes within blocks within AutoLINE linetypes

Redefine Blocks At Will

Don't like the way it looks?  Redefine the block, REGEN, and the linetype immediately appears different.

Linetype Parameters Can Be Overriden

Do you need a linetype to appear slightly differently just one time?  Modify the linetype, convert the object, then modify it back.  The linetype won't change even after REGEN.  This can be helpful if you need an object within the line to move.
