- Select a match line tool on a tool palette.
A match line tool is located on the Annotation palette.
- Specify the first point of the match line in the drawing area.
- Specify the next points of the match line, and press Enter when the line is complete.
- In the Edit Attributes dialog box, enter the text you want displayed on the match line, and click OK.
Note: Match lines that have been inserted with match line tools can be modified in the drawing and saved back as tools on a tool palette. By default, a match line tool created that way will have the same layer key, layer overrides, symbol, line width, linetype, attribute text style, and attribute text angle as the original tool that was used to create the annotation symbol in the drawing. The symbol location will be the current drawing.
