    Default Create a custom linetype with two colors

    Good morning,
    Is it possible to create a custom linetype which is made up of dashes with every other dash a different color? What I want is a linetype to define a gas line (I know, all have to do is add text but I want to do it using a combination of two dashes. One Yellow and the second Black.) I found a suggestion for using Mline which produces a two tone line but the Mlines can't be Offset nor can it be an PLINE.

    Not in AutoCAD, not using a Line or Pline.

    A custom routine could be created that faked it, but you'd end up with multiple segements (which could be GROUPed together)

    Can you instead use two, overlapping lines... One continuous (Yellow), and one with your dashed linetype (Black)?

    Cheers
