+==== OutlineToLine ====
+Convert (metal sheets) outlines to single lines or arrows.
+=== Walkthrough ===
+== Inputs ==
+One or several outline curves(Usually a planar section). The selected curves will be automatically grouped using the user text “PartID”. Conversely, when a curve is picked, the whole group will be selected.
+== Result ==
+For each curves group, the main curve is kept and outlines or arrow are created. If the option is enabled, annotations will be also created.
+The result is previewed in real time while using the command, as well as a key table to understand the preview's icons.

+===  Options ===
+^ Type | Choose between Outline, Arrow or Auto. When Auto is selected, the user text “RhinoStructure:Type” will be read for each group. The result will be an arrow if the value is 'ARROW', else it will be an outline |
+^ Layer | Select a layer for the result |
+^ ChangeSide | Swap a group's offset or arrows orientation. {{ :start:plugins:drawusertexts:otl_changesideopt.jpg?nolink&350 |}} |
+^ ChangeAllSides | Applies ChangeSide to every groups |
+^ ManualCurvesPick | Pick a group from your current selection, then select/deselect the curves that should be kept. Useful when automatic detection got it wrong |
+^ LengthBetweenOffsets | Distance beetween two offset curves when the Outline mode is used |
+^ Offset | Offset distance from the group's main curve |
+^ LengthOffset | Length of every offset curve |
+^ AngleArrow | Angle when arrow mode is used |
+^ LengthArrow | Length of every arrowheads curves |
+^ AddReference | When enabled, applies a specialized version of WS2S_AddRef command to your result |
+^ TextHeight | Text height used when AddReference is enabled |
