Creating a custom linetype using dashed line with text

[johnyPZ57P]

I have created custom line types with text. These line types have a "continuous" line with the custom text. I need to create a "dashed" line with text, but I can't get the dashed line; I just get a solid line.

This is the desired appearance:   - - - - 864ct UG - - - -

This is the code I generated with /Express tools/tools/ Make Linetype

*864CTUG,864ct Underground Fiber
A,1.249811,-.015002,["864ctUG",Standard,y=-.03,s=.06,u=0],-.383569

but this is what I end up with:

-864ctUG- (the lines are longer than I am showing, see attached PDF Below). 

I have tried multiple methods but coming up empty. Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi,

Try

*864CTUG_---,864ct Underground Fiber
A,0.1812265,-0.1812265,0.1812265,-.015002,["864ctUG",Standard,y=-.03,s=.06,u=0],-.41,0.1812265,-0.1812265,0.1812265,-0.1812265

General principle: positive numbers are lines, negative numbers are spaces.

Thanks. That will work.
