Custom linetype

[Meikka]

Hi,

I need a custom linetype that includes a shape - a rectangle or a star.

How do I define this "shape" in my custom linetype?

Thank You,

Martti

You need a font with that shape defined in it: Windows bundles a lot of fonts that contain shapes, explore. Or find an SHX font with the shape you want.

FYI, AutoCAD, but not LT, can compile a custom shape file into a font file (SHX): if you have access and the time to learn, explore it in full AutoCAD's HELP.

An old message but useful (although frustrating) to note LT does not support compiling shape files.  ah well, another item for the wish list....
