LINE command defaults The system defaults for direction and type of line are HORIZONTAL and SOLID 1 and are adopted automatically if no other option is specified. The default option of REPEAT is used to repeat a horizontal line vertically and a vertical line horizontally to produce parallel lines.

(The point of origin of a vertical line is at the top of the line at the midpoint of the line thickness. A horizontal line point of origin is at the left end of the line at the midpoint of the line thickness.)
