Custom Parallel Lines

[gpickren]

I need to create a custom double (parallel) line that is solid or dashed to represent roads on a site plan. Is there an easy way to do that? Still using X2. Thanks.

Draw one side and then copy the line concentrically by holding the C key and dragging a copy.

Tried that but the lines don't stay parallel in multiple curves.

I think you are dragging with the wrong grip.
It looks like you are dragging with the Move (square) grip, which will just make a copy.
You need to drag with one of the diamond grips which will offset parallel.

Aren't you taking about concentric copy?

Thanks, Glenn, that worked.

D. Scott,

Yes that is what I am talking about.
In a previous post my instruction was:

"Draw one side and then copy the line concentrically by holding the C key and dragging a copy."

I origionally omited to mention the correct grip to drag the line with.
