	How to draw a "zigzag" line in AutoCAD?
	To draw zig-zag lines, polylines, circles, etc. you can use the predefined linetype "ZIGZAG". Load this linetype using the _LINETYPE command, make it current and draw entities. You can influence the size of "teeth" by LTSCALE - e.g. in the Properties window (OPM) change the Linetype scale for an entity to 2.
