[#1]

I need to create a complex linetype for a fence.  The line needs to consist of the following:

------X------X------X-----      The linetype needs to be dynamic to any length.

Can anyone help with this?

[#2]

*FENCELINE1,Fenceline ----X----X----X----X----X----X-- A,.5,-.2,["X",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-.05,Y=-.05],-.2

From here just adjust the numbers as you need.

OK, but where do I put this information and what editor do I use?

Hi,

>> OK, but where do I put this information and what editor do I use?

>>>here<<< you'll find an overview and details for customizing linetypes.

Its simple!  "LINETYPE" > Load > click File and it should point to the directory of your .lin file.

Open that

At the bottom you will see a section for "USER DEFINED LINE TYPES".

Paste that code under that section exactly like I put it.

The when your all done, just load the linetype as usual.

I looked at what you sent me and I when through the steps you provided but I did not see the "user defined line types" at the bottom.  Where is the item "user defined line types"?

[#7]

Did you open the Acad.lin file?

[#8]

Yes, I opened the Acad.lin file and put the line type in as you said.  It would not show up in the selection of line to load.

[#9]

Here ya go!

Just rename the file type from .txt to .lin
