Extract Linetype From DWG File?

[doni49]

I've got a linetype that's part of our autocad template file and has been for so long that nobody around here even knows where the original lin file is.

I need to extract the linetype out so that I can make some minor modifications.  I did do a search and found a nifty lsp routine from Paul Turvill.  (Here's the thread that pointed me there:  http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Visual-LISP-AutoLISP-and-General/Extracting-Linetypes/m-p/1037624/high...).

I ran it and it SEEMED to work.  All the linetypes in the file it created look good EXCEPT for the one I needed to extract.

That one looks like this in the lin file:

 
*TREELINE,Series of arcs used to indicate tree drip lines
A,0.0001,-0.0001,

The linetype DOES display properly in the dwg file (meaning lines drawn using it look good).

Any ideas/suggestions?

TIA!

It may be too complex a linetype (or rely on a shape font perhaps?): can you share a DWG file with it in there?

I made a file with 1 line which has the linetype in question assigned to it.  That dwg file is attached.

I've also attached the lsp file I'm using.

TIA!

EDIT:  You'll probably want the shx file too.  I've attached it.

Another idea.

Just keep a drawing where it's loaded in your standards and use DesignCenter to load it into other drawings. No LIN file ever needed.

The reason I'm after the lin file is so that I can change the size of the arcs.

I used DUMPSHX.EXE from AutoCAD 2007 Express Tools to decompile your TREE.SHX and got this:

;;
;;  AutoCAD SHP file generated by dumpshx.exe
;;

*000D6,5,TREE1
1,10,(3,-044),0

*000D7,5,TREE2
1,10,(5,-044),0

I tried to attach it as a file (tree.shp) but the board won't let me attach a file with the extension .shp so you'll have to copy-n-paste out of this comment.
