I need a line type that looks like this
- - - - <-> - - - -
I can get a solid line with the <-> by using keyboard symbols, I just need the main line
dashed.
Here is what I have with a soild line and the symbols;
*ANNEX,ANNEX ---<->---<->---
A,2,-.02,["<->",STANDARD,S=.05,R=0.0,x=0.0,Y=-.022],-.16
Just cant figure out how to make the line dashed.
Suggestions?
TIA

There are limits to the number of dash specifications allowed. "You can enter up to 12 dash-length specifications per linetype, provided they fit on one 80-character line in the LIN file. " You must have a dash and space specification for each dash in the pattern. You cannot impose your symbol on another hidden linetype. You would need 15 dash space sequences for your linetype so it would be impossible. I suggest that you use a path array if you really need this.
I'm just drawing a line around a parcel.
By using a Path Array (Never heard of this till now) I'm guessing
you are suggesting using a dashed line type and basicly copy a block
with a wipeout on that line.
Correct?
A linetype would be much easier. Then I could just add it to my
base template for future use.
I'll try the path array for now.
Thanks
Thats really close!!
I get how the dash works now.
I'll toy with the dash lengths now till I get it right.
THANKS!!!!!
I added an additional -.5 to the end.
*ANNEX2,ANNEX2
A,.5,-.5,["<->",STANDARD,y=-.218,s=.5],-2,.5,-.5,.5,-.5,["<->",STANDARD,y=-.218,s=.5],-2,.5,-.5
Make it a polyline with linetype generation enabled.
Perfect!
Thanks!
