The Plant Line command creates a freehand plant line along a line, polyline, or polygon. It can be used to represent a single undefined plant, line of plants, or general plant mass. No specific plant symbol information is included in a plant line; use the Landscape Area tool if defined plant areas are necessary (see Creating landscape areas).
To create a plant line:
Select the object (line, polyline, or polygon) with the Selection tool.
