Hip Tip for putting varying widths of polylines on the tool palettes:
I recently ran into a situation where someone wanted to have different polyline widths as tools on their tool palettes. As logic would have it, they dragged the various width polylines right onto the tool palette assuming the pline width value would go with it...but when they went to insert the polylines, they all defaulted back to a width of "0"...what's up with that? And furthermore - how do they accomplish their goal?
So here are the steps:
1. Drag a polyline onto the palette.
2. Right click on the tool - go to Properties
3. Turn "Use Flyout" to "no" as seen below
4. This makes the Command string section available for customizing. Note my code below - simply replace the numbers in my code with the width values you need.
^C^C_pline;\w;24;24;
There you go! Now I have to get back to wrapping some presents...
