Hi
Please note I have *moved* this thread from the New Forum Users Forum to this one as I believe it would be better served here.

Hi
For starters try the information found in the following thread...
Custom Linetype
Have a good one, Mike
Sure. Have you ever made one before?Quote:

If you have more than one to define, create a .LIN file using Notepad, or some other ASCII text editor.
You could also use the MKLTYPE command (part of Express Tools)
Complex linetypes can be a little tricky, especially if you are using shapes. Express Tools also includes a MKSHAPE command to help with this part. If you use text in a complex linetype, create a textstyle dedicated for this use, and set it's fixed text height to 0.
Lastly, if you have a drawing that contains a linetype that you want to add to your collection, then pick up NEW-LIN.LSP and/or TO-LIN.LSP from http://www.turvill.com/t2/free_stuff/index.htm. These routines will create a LIN file from linetypes in any drawing.
How do you make the *.lsp file run (work)??
Have you tried the appload command?Quote:
