    Hi,

    Using Unity 5.3.5f1 and by looking at my profiler. Clearly the draw calls are not batching for these line renderers. Am I missing something?

    See attachments.

    Thanks

    Line renderer just sucks and doesn't batch.

    The line renderer does batch. Try using the frame grabber and see if its drawing with a single call or multiple.
    Are you using the same material on the lines?

    Those screenshots show batching working. The total batches count is 2 in all.

    Oh, used to be it didn't batch. I still maintain it sucks though (due to the simplistic corner handling). :p

    The batching reporting is a bit broken here. As Karl says, batching is working and "Total Batches: 2" is telling you that.
    However, the line beginning "(Dynamic Batching)" is failing to report the details. We have fixed this in 5.4.

    Yes they all use the same material.

    Cool, thanks a bunch.
