    Default Create a custom Sheet Pile LineType

    Can someone help me in creating a linetype that would look like the attached drawing??? I've had no luck with adding the geometry (even after creating it as a shape) to a linetype.

    Thanks,

    Works here. Make sure that you put the shape file in a directory that is in your support file search path.

    Your support file search path is under Tools-->Options then you open the first Tab which is called Files and then you expand the first category which is called Support Files Search Path. Make sure the directory you saved your shape file is included there.

    I don't think he was asking for help regarding the support file search path, I think he was just saying that he came to the realization that this was needed.
