Does anyone know the proper syntax for a profile on a PLINE Token?
It's late in the day, but I can't find a reference for this anywhere. Not sure if the .dwg should be in the Router Bits or the Profiles folder in MV Data. Guessing profiles, but neither seem to work, with or without the ".dwg" on the end of the name.

I would like to be able to have a 2D Drawing token that would draw an AutoCAD wipeout, much like the DrawHatch token, it could use a Polyline token above it. By ordering the tokens, you could ensure that the draw order would be correct.
