A polyline is often used for this in AutoCAD. Sorry, there is no equivalent element (AutoCAD polyline) in Revit, namely that a polyline''s thickness can vary along it length. We also need to keep in mind that Revit''s lines do not square off at the ends, an option that AutoCAD developers added to it in the past.

DECEMBER 21, 2017
AutoCAD deals with this in a clever fashion (when we invoke the tangent snap) by fixing (changing) the first point to be tangent after the second point is placed. AutoCAD appears to know this by virtue of snapping tangent for the first point so it can adjust the final bearing, and attachment to the circle, of the line.
