New Polyline Linetype

[neilyj666]

When drawing a new polyline is there a way to have the Linetype property set ByLayer rather than Continuous? It works fine for the Colour but it's a PITA to have to change to ByLayer afterwards

Make sure the CELTYPE sysvar is set correctly

Neil confirm that when you open the properties dialog with nothing selected the linetype set here is ByLayer.

Try entering -LT @ command line > "S" for Set.

-LINETYPE
Current line type:  "Continuous"
Enter an option [?/Create/Load/Set]: S

Specify linetype name or [?] <Continuous>:

Should be set to bylayer.

That's exactly what the props dialog does. 😉

Oops, I should read all posts a little closer as now it appears there are 3 = ways to skin the cat here.

Thanks to all for the replies - CELTYPE now set to ByLayer....:)

Wasn't aware of that setting at all (as was apparent from my initial query...!!!)

...and if I refreshed my page I would have seen Jeff's post.

Yes they all do the same thing. 🙂
