    Complex linetypes

    When I assign a complex linetype containing text to an entity it doesn't always appear as intended
    This linetype should appear as shown in the description,
    *FENCE,Fenceline x----x----x----x----x----
    A,.75,-.1,["x",STANDARD,S=.130,R=0.0,X=-.05,Y=-.05],-.05
    instead it appears as
    x___x___x___x___
    sometimes simply moving the line will correct the problem temporarily sometimes not.
    The text type I'm useing is simplex.shx
    Any suggestions?
    Please use plain text.

    I've defined several complex linetypes that use a text entity, such as "G"
    for a gas line. The text style is a unique one I defined just for this
    purpose called "Linetypes", and uses simplex with a height of zero and an
    obliquing angle of zero. Sometimes the text in my linetypes is displayed
    upright, but other times it is slanted, as if the obliquing angle is being
    ignored. This happens no matter what my current text style is set to. Is
    this a bug in 14 and 2000i? Thanks.
    Please use plain text.

    you need to adjust your "y" value until the letter is in the position you need.
