    Default Custom Linetype Issue

    i am having some problems getting the linetype below to work out correctly. it consistently either gives an error about a bad linetype definition, or it displays incorrectly. i searched the forums, and read through what i found and it helped some, but didnt quite fix the problems.

    when it displays incorrectly, the text is the wrong scale and i cant find how to correct it; however it seems that the linetype itself works but is just having issues with the font.

    Code:
     *1_HR_Fire_Wall,1 Hour Fire Wall ----1HR----1HR----1HR----1HR----1HR----1HR--
     A,.5,-.2,["1HR",SIMPLEX,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.25

    thanks.

    Exclamation Re: Custom Linetype Issue

    When a custom linetype uses a style (rather than a shape), the character in the linetype is scaled by the fixed text height in the style.

    With "Simplex" set to a fixed text height of 0.00, your linetype definition loads and looks right to me.

    thanks. i managed to discover that shortly after i posted here. i ended up making a new text style and set it to 0 and that worked out for me.
