Enumerate the different types of lines, their variations and their meaning/effect (I needed 20)...

(help would be greatly appreciated.ASAP)

[Retired_for_now]

Lines? As in a one dimensional abstraction tracing out the shortest geodesic between two points? Or are we going to do poetry ...

You could start with any of your model sheets and expand from there, though meaning varies with the drafter and the effect depends on you.

Ummmmm....... Yeah, I think we need a little more information, Bro.

This is a truly iffy question - these lines might help -

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

Context is everything. A couple of simple google searches will reveal a multitude of types broken down into various categories such a technical/engineering, art drawings and electrical schematics.

So go forth and do the google young friend. You may find many more categories than these.

Moral lesson: Never rely too much in the 'NET

And things you find or work out yourself stick much better than something copied from Wiki-whatever. Well done!

... stick much better than something copied from Wiki-whatever.

... but sometimes that sure as umph beats typing it out with 1.5 fingers from memory.
