Road Marking lines
Note: ;When picking points defining line segments, the function will adjust the point to the nearest possible location in accordance with the linetype chosen. This to ensure correct spacing when changing from one linetype to another.
There are two ways to access and edit a road marking line once it has been designed. One can use AutoCAD Grips (click the road marking object to highlight it) or optionally use right mouse click while holding the Ctrl key down.
See User Interface for more details.
Draw Road Marking lines
This function is used for designing and drawing road marking lines. Based on a pre-designed polyline, line or arc - road marking lines are created as individual objects on top of these. Different road marking styles can be applied to the same reference line - see the below figure:
