Go to http://www.turvill.com/t2/free_stuff/index.htm and download RRL.lsp. Draw your lines first then run command rrl, pick the lines and enter width of the line. The width of the one in your linetype.dwg is 0.23.

the lisp file is useful for small drawings but if i have a large drawing than i would use and linetype instead of lisp program because it will save time so i have made this linetype but it is not satisfactory as it makes the file heavy and makes it impossible to work with so please help in making a linetype which will not make the dwg heavy

Can't be done with a linetype. Multilines must be drawn same as the routine and can't do arcs.

Complex linetypes need to be addressed by Autodesk. They should incorperate multilines. Ones with text should work like dimension text, center justified with background mask option to avoid having to figure X & Y shift and spacing. Absolute rotation looks stupid now with forced lower left justification. Calling fonts instead of text styles like you can in mtext would mean they would appear the same in every drawing. The standard ltypeshp.shp needs more shapes like 30°, 45° and 90° arcs. While custom shapes are easy enough to create, keeping track of them so they're available to anyone who may open a drawing that needs them for a linetype is a pain.

Sorry for the rant, wish I could be more helpful,
