How to Create Complicated LineType?

Hi! I want to draw lines with linetypes like the pictures show.  However, it seems impossible to make the linetype. I really need your help.

Linetypes are outlined with red pen.

I can't believe you make the "linetype" in this way., good idea.
although it looks great, the lines are not real lines, it's unconvenient to edit or snap the lines.

I learned how to make linetypes from youtube.

I guess the best way to share this knowledge is by sharing the link ^^

The black arrowheads and the gray C's or U's or whatever they are could be done with a complex linetype definition with embedded text, if you can find a text font that has appropriate shapes [Wingdings or a similar symbol font for the arrowheads, various possibilities for a C or U that would be usable].  Help will tell you how to make those.

 

The ones that have width and multiple colors can't be done in single linetypes, as far as I know.  They would probably need to be done with multiple Polylines of different colors [whether assigned to the Polylines themselves or on different Layers] and widths.

You can combine colors and different linetypes with a Multiline. The Autodesk Knowledge Network has an article about it here

Dynosaur mline can't even make a curve, it's useless and shouldn't be called a line making tool.

But not the width in the OP's image, as you can do with Polylines.

For example, I make a linetype file with code like this

 

*JustForTest 2
A,0.01,-0.1,["♥",STANDARD,S=0.1,R=90,X=0,Y=0]

 

I just want to see the custom special maker without any short lines between the makers. neither the beginning or the ending.

I can't figure out.

Hi @viper_007

 

*JustForTest 2
A,0.01,-0.1,["♥",STANDARD,S=0.1,R=90,X=0,Y=0]

 

If you change the first value to 0 or to something like 0.000000001 does that work for you?

 

Here is an AKN Article that describes the Linetype definitions.
