I created a custom linetype using the mkltype command from the express tools. it consists of a line 15' long, a space of 15' and a line 0.5 feet long.

when i selected the start point for the line i picked the beginning of the first 15' line and the end of the 0.5' line.

that all seemed fine when i used the linetype on a line except it has a point (grip) before the start of the line and after the end of the last line. the distance varies according to the
length of the entire line.

and when i turn it into a polyline and give it a width, that point really is visible.
any ideas?

here is the code that it created.

*CL,HWY CENTERLINE
A,5,-14.75,.5,-14.75
