Hi,

You can create custom line type from the express tool bar> make line type. But some shapes cannot be choosen like arcs and splines. For that you can create a shape to make the line type of the same object. It is also available in express tools>make shape.

Refer this viddeo for more details.

Thanks & Best regards

Try FlexSpline.lsp, available here, which will do that "make ... with spline" part for you. [Or, if you don't need the variability in "pitch" of the curvature, Snake.lsp in the link at the beginning of that Post.]

In its FLEX command, you can either draw your "path" of any kind within the command, or you can apply a Spline to any already-Existing object that you select. You won't get the straight end portions that a linetype will give you [it rounds the size of the curves for complete waves to exactly meet the ends of the path], nor the mis-match of the ends of the Shapes along curves or at Polyline bends.
