    Default Multiline Style - What I'm I doing wrong?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I created a Multiline Style and named it "4_Inch_Sleeve" and I defined it with offsets 2.00 and -2.00 which (according to my book) should give it pick points between each line but the pick points are at the ends of the top line. What I'm I doing wrong?

    I would also like to have longer dashes. Do I need to create a new linetype or edit and rename the one I'm using?

    It sounds like you did not change the Justification, at the command line, to Zero.

    The three options for Justification are Top, Zero and Bottom. The default is Top I believe.

    Thanks,

    That is what is was. I read something about justification but did not know that it was a command line option.
    I guess I got ahead of myself. Now that I know, I can see it will tell me this a few more pages along in the book.

    Thanks again

    You're welcomed.

    It would have been nicer had the book been a little more forth-coming with the information earlier in the chapter.
