It is indeed a terrible pain in the neck and quite time consuming. The
basic pattern is a vertical pattern and a pattern for the corner(s).
What I did discover is that the following order in which the lines
are drawn (in Draw) in the vertical pattern and then in the corner
pattern must be done in that precise order. So if you have 3 lines in
the vertical pattern numbered 1, 2 and 3 and three corner patterns
named a, b and c you must:
first draw line 1
then draw line a, so that it lines up at the bottom with the
top of line 1
out of security save this
then draw line 2
followed by line b and line up as stated above
and the same for the 3rd pair of lines.
Now group lines 1, 2 and 3 and do the same with a, b and c. Carefully
position the group a-b-c above the group 1-2-3.
BUT...
Behind these lines one also needs 1 or 2 invisible frames. I have as
yet not been able to sort out the logic behind these frames. One needs
this to position the vertical and corner frame correctly. So that the
corner does appear at the corner.
And possibly the starting point of every object is also important.
I have Style, the manual got lost when I moved a few years back, so I
do not know if the manual page 168 is of any help here.
