Using Line Attributes and Types
You can change the appearance of the lines you draw by using the
Line Attribute (LA) and Line Type (LT) commands. The Line Attribute
command lets you specify whether the ends of lines and corners of
joined lines should appear as square, triangular, round, or beveled.

Line types are repeated patterns of dots and/or dashes (including
solid lines). The following shows some examples of line types. Note
that you can also vary the width of the lines and line types you draw
by using the Pen Width (PW) command.
