It is the same method to draw Polylines.
I say tell us more exactly what you need?

before you just need to type the X and Y which will  draw the line for you. now ie. if i put 25,25 the line will start in the point but when you enter second point ie 15,15 it wont be in that, will go to 40,40 means it is adding the typed value with the present point. so we can only get the first point correct the remaining points will be added to the previous.
belive it is much clear now.
please feel free to write if you still confuse.
Looking forward to see from you.

If you are drawing a polyline relative to another point or point on an object.  First start the command "pline" then pick the point that you want to start from.  Then type in @25,25.  This will draw a pline 25 units to the right and 25 units up.  The little @ symbol is very important.

Yes, i do try with the @ symbol also, but still for ie, your 1st point is 25,25 you will get the firet point then if you type @15,15 it wont go to the correct place, will be in 40,40 and again if you type your third point @25,25 if it is working properly it should come back to the first place. But it wont, if anybody have the 2004, you will see it will work without the @ sign.
Here this is what i an planing to draw. can anybody try to draw the pline with the following cordinates, make sure you got the correct point with the command "id"
