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.	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.	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
