[Rico]

I need to get my hands on a linetype that looks like an equal sign - a continuous equal, no spaces. anyone have anything like this?

[Rico]

I could also use an arrow linetype. Something like this ....

a multi-line perhaps?

[Rico]

a multi-line perhaps?

perhaps, is that the same as the linetypes you associate with your layer manager?

no.

Mlines have their own style manager.

Hey Rico,
Heres something like what you want for the Arrow Line "-------->"
....and a lame version of a Double Line using an "equal sign" "====="

*ARROW_LINE,Arrow line ---- > ---- > ---- > ----
A,.2,-.09,[">",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],.10


*DOUBLE_LINE,double line -=============================-
A,.001,-.2,["==",STANDARD,S=.105,R=0.0,X=-0.11,Y=-.0457],-.00001

I hope one helps any way

COOL, TED.

Now help me out here, please.

I imagine I paste the code into a Notepad (.txt) document and save it, right?

How do I load that up into my drawing?

Paste it into notepad and save it as an .lin file,

or paste it right into your acad.lin file which you'd open with notepad.
on the command line:

(startapp "notepad" (findfile "acad.lin"))

..then load it like any other line type.

never mind. figured it out.

one more Q that I CAN'T answer though ...

The double line linetype looks like it has another line running through the center ..... maybe it's just me ... can you look at that and tell me if I am going crazy?
