Thanks for the help. I am trying to create specific line types. I used -linetype command and follow how to do it but they are not loading in on AutoCAD.
I am trying to make linetypes like this.
I tried to use this to make the linetype but nothing seems to load into AutoCAD. I don't know if I am doing something wrong. HELP!
A,3'-2",["ELEC",STANDARD,S=.1,U=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-10.5

You can use only decimal numbers in linetype definitions, so linetype definition should look something like this:
*ELEC,---ELEC---ELEC---
A,2.8,-.15,["ELEC",STANDARD,S=.1,U=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.3
And for H2O:
*H2O,---H2O---H2O---
A,2.8,-.18,["H O",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.12,Y=-.05],-.20,["2",STANDARD,S=.06,R=0.0,X=-0.22,Y=-.05],-.01

Hi @tylerbudnick ,
The initial post is rather old.
Can you describe your problem in more detail?

Yes, I am trying to make a custom line type with the text characters as described. I have copied that code into the command bar when the proper prompt comes up and I get a comment that says...invalid number or bad continuation

That sadly is not how linetypes are loaded into AutoCAD, sorry. Read about creating external linetype definition files in HELP to see how it's done

I have read that. Is the text feature no longer available on MAC?

This is what I am trying to do. I am typing in exactly what it says and it's not working.

Hi @tylerbudnick ,
You cannot create complex linetypes with -LINETYPE command in Command window:
Instead, you need to create text file with .LIN extension using plain text editor with linetype definition and load it with Linetype Manager.
You can review this video:

It is about AutoCAD for Windows, but you can follow the steps, described there on Mac too.
