Custom Isometric Linetype

[Delectrified]

Hello everyone,

For the past two weeks I am trying to create a custom Isometric (ISO) Linetype.

I'm working with Autocad 2012 and I've made a custom Complex Linetype like the "HOT_WATER_SUPPLY" line type.

But I cannot make it in an Isometric layer.

Is that even possible to make in a coordinate system?

Thanks so much guys.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.  Do you want the text elements oblique relative to the direction of [for example] a Line, in order to look "right" in an isometric drawing?  I think you would need to define a text Style to use in such linetypes, with the obliquing angle built into the Style, and in fact two of them, one obliqued at 30 degrees and one at -30.  Unless I misunderstood....

Careful with the terminology - an "ISO" linetype usually refers to International Standards Organization (ISO), and in context metric drawing standards.

Hi Kent,

That is exactly what I meant. I haven't thought about making two linestyles with an obliquing angle.

I'm going to try that.

Thanks for your input!
