    Default Dashdot linetype missing dot

    I am using the standard dashdot linetype, but lines are always missing the last dot - there is just a gap. I've checked the code and can't see why it would be missing. Any ideas?

    All dash-dot lines should end with a dash.

    It does finish with a dash, but is missing the last dot. It looks like this:

    Unfortunately this is because the line is just too short/long to have roomto add the last dot before finishing (always) with a dash. Copy it and try stretching it slightly and I think you'll find the dot appear.

    You can cheat by adjusting the CELTScale or linetype scale in the properties for this line by a small amount to force the dot to appear.

    Thanks for the suggestions, but they haven't fixed the problem. Changing the scale or length makes no difference. I'va attached a screenshot showing some sample lines.

    That is weird. Sorry, I've not seen that before.

    I wonder if your Lin files have been edited. Here is a copy of the vanilla Lin files. Load these up & see if the error still occurs.

    Sorry to say, but still no difference. Maybe its just one of those things.

    There must be something wrong with your ACad. Did you save Norton_cad's linetype definition files over your own?

    You drawing appears fine when I open it on my PC.
