Issue:

When drawing with the Polyline (PLINE) tool, I noticed that it creates 2D Polyline.

Why is that?

Causes:

By default, drawing a Polyline in CAD results in a Polyline, but this behavior is also influenced by the PLINETYPE system variable.

When the value of this system variable is 0 it creates a 2D Polyline

The image below illustrates the settings of PLINETYPE, with old-style polyline referring to 2D Polyline

Solution:

  1. Type PLINETYPE in the command line and press Enter.
  2. Set its value to 2 and press Enter to complete the setup. You can now draw regular Polylines.
