Remarks

The endpoints of a trace are always on the centerline and are always cut square. AutoCAD automatically calculates the correct bevels for connection to adjacent trace segments.

Traces are solid-filled when the Fill mode is on. When the Fill mode is off, only the outline of a trace appears. To set the Fill mode, use the system variable FILLMODE. The system variable TRACEWID stores the current width used for a Trace object. To query a system variable, use the GetVariable method. To set a system variable, use the SetVariable method.

To create a trace, use the AddTrace method.
