Have you ever worked on a survey site plan where you must create a sewage line type to show on the plan and the legend chart? But you realized in the line type manager that AutoCAD doesn't have a sewage line type by default. So you need to create one. I will teach you how to create a line type in a step-by-step method.
Step 1: draw a line
Step 2: Select a single text line and make the text height to your discretion. Make sure the letter is in the center of the line, and trim out the parts overlapping the text.
Step 3: In the Express tools tab, click the Tools drop-down and select Make Lintype
Step 4: It will ask you to save the .lin type file in a folder in your file explorer. Save
Step 5: Follow the prompts; it will ask you to enter a name for the line type, line type description(-s-), and specify the starting and end point of the line, then select the entire object.
Step 6: press enter, and now you have a new line type that you can load in the Line type manager.
I hope this helped, and good luck. 🙂
