first time user need fence help

[Anonymous]

Hi there, this is my first assignment using this program. I have been given a site plan base and need to expand to show all the items in the key. The course tutorials are hopeless and give no help to a first time user who needs basic basic help.

First off I am trying to get this fence symbol shown in the key (line with circles) to go around the existing site boundary line. They have provided a key in the template that has the symbol for the fence they want me to use which is a brown line with circles at even intervals. I thought I could just copy it and place it around the site boundary but everything I try does not work. Please help I am sure this is ultra basic but I have no idea. (screen shot of site plan and key attached).

To set the line type as your default then you need to use the eye dropper (pipette) tool to copy the settings.
ALT-click is the keyboard shortcut.

This is assuming the line in your key (legend) is an actual line.

Then every line you draw after that will have the same settings - until you change them.
