Custom Tangent Lines, Custom Line Thickness

    I've tried creating a custom line type to show a thin tangent line in
    drawings that has a gap at either end. How can I specify that the line
    should be continuous between the other lines. Using Solid Edge, I
    think this was the standard way it displayed tangent lines. SWx seems
    only to be able to chain a pattern. Is there a way of displaying a
    single line between two tangents, instead of displaying the tangents,
    maybe like a virtual edge? Is there a way of creating a custom line
    thickness, other than thin, normal, thick, and thick+? Parts that have
    many tangent edges get displayed with many lines, and it becomes hard
    to discern the overall shape. It is not a huge deal, but it would make
    isometric drawings look much nicer.
