    Default Creating Custom Line Type

    I am trying to create a custom line type without much luck. The line I am looking for is something like this, <------------->, but a solid line between the arrows. I keep getting "Invalid number or bad continuation". It's probably a syntax thing. I tried copying some sytax from another line type and modifying it and no dice. I just want a continuous line with arrows at each end.
    We need to display where our telephone cables have a break/splice in them. Right now we have the cable ends as separate objects and if we can eliminate that as one more object to manipoulate it would save a ton of work.

    Default Re: Creating Custom Line Type

    With out seeing the lin file it's had to see the error. Of course unless your the cable splice are all the same length a line type will not be of much use, the < and > at the ends will repeat after you get past the defined length. IOW it will look like this <----><----->-<-----> as the lenght changes or the LTScale changes. I would use a block instead of linetypes.
