Drawing Connected Lines
You draw connected lines by entering two or more points using the Draw
menu’s multiple line command. Use connected lines when you need the look
of a polyline, but you need to store information about each line segment
individually. If you need to know the total length of the connected lines or
if you need width control, use a polyline. For information on drawing
polylines, see the chapter titled “Polylines, Polygons, & Curves,” which
begins on page 137.
