A polyline is a connected sequence of line segments created as a single object. You can create straight line segments, arc segments, or a combination of the two.
Multisegmented lines provide editing capabilities unavailable for single lines. For example, you can adjust their width and curvature. After you've created a polyline, you can edit it or convert it to individual line and arc segments. You can
- Create arc polylines
- Convert a spline-fit polyline into a true spline
- Use closed polylines to create a polygon
- Create wide polylines in which you set the width of individual segments and make them taper gradually from one width to another.
- Create a polyline from the boundaries of overlapping objects
