modify line type

what is the easiest way to lengthen the distance between fence posts as shown by this linetype?

it is actually not in the acad.lin file, but I think it would read like this:

 

*FENCE,fence ---- X ---- X ---- X ----
A,.5,-.2,["X",STANDARD,S=.1,U=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.1

You can change the linetype scale, but that will also change the size of the X's.  If you want those the same, but just spaced differently, change the .5, which [being a positive number] is the pen-down part of the line.  Leave the negative numbers and the text-inclusion part alone, and the text will still fall in the same size gap -- only the length of the line pieces between text inclusions will change.

what is the 'U' transform option?

in this article, it is defined as "U= specifies upright or easy-to-read text"

do the numbers that define lengths / offsets correspond to the drawing units?

@jdfnnl FWIW if you need an exact and precise spacing of the "posts" that is measurable, then you probably need to be using a DYNAMIC block if ARRAY on a line with a linetype is not an option. Not a linetype.

this does seem like a less 'antiquated' method..

here is a link to my dynamic block inquiry

is it possible to define a linetype that with the text element on both ends?

@jdfnnl AutoCAD linetypes have to start/end with a dash.
