custom linetypes with text

Anonymous
Not applicable

I am attempting to create a custom linetype with text in it, but the format used to create the line. Which is as follows:         A,.5,-.25,["GAS",STANDARD,S=.1,U=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.25  is not producing the result I need. Asimple linetype is no problem but when I attempt to add text, it wont load into the drawing. I need to create a "gas line" because no matter what I do I can't read the text that is in the default gas line. I have tried any number of things to make the text larger, to no avail. Can anyone help?

Open up the .lin file in notepad.

 

Find the linetype GAS

 

Copy it to the bottom of the document

 

Change the name and text to OFC

 

Save the .lin file
