Pattern lines are not independent elements but linear 2D elements with the pattern line format property. When you create elements with the pattern line format property, a pattern is displayed along the reference element. You can use all the patterns that are defined. The pattern stays at a constant height.
A: reference line
B: pattern
In the pattern line settings, you can configure Allplan to show the reference element, too. All linear 2D elements you create with the tools in the Draft and Advanced Draft modules (e.g. line, rectangle, ellipse, spline, parallel lines etc.) can be assigned the pattern line property. All you need to do is activate 
Pattern Line on/off (the icon appears pressed in) while creating the above 2D elements. You can use 
Modify Pattern Lines to display any 2D elements as pattern lines or to convert pattern lines back to ‘normal’ design entities.
To select a pattern line, you need to click its reference element. As pattern lines are not independent elements, Allplan will also find them when you filter the base element. If you are using the Line filter, for example, Allplan will also find all lines that were created as pattern lines. To filter the pattern line property exclusively, use the 
Filter by pattern line property filter.
