linetypes

[prodrafter]

I have already drawn out 3 different linetypes I want to use as standard linetypes. How do I convert these simple lines into a linetype? Basically I have a series of lines I want to convert into a linetype. The lines appear as follows:
---E---E---E

---V---V---V

---X---X---X

I used letters to show what has been drawn as lines in the above examples. I've searched different discussion forums and help on AutoCAD and can't seem to find what I am looking for. I am using vanilla AutoCAD2010.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Here is a link to the AutoCAD help files on the subject:

You should be able to copy an existing linetype and edit it to your needs. Study the syntax for a bit so you'll know what to change to make it look like you want.
