Asking a favour for a couple of linetype definitions

Hello,

I don't post here much as I'm a seasoned veteran of using autocad.

The company I work for runs the LT version. I saw online that its very easy to define a line type via the express tools. LT doesn't support the express tools so I've been trying to modify the code for the GAS linetype to say PHASE 1. I have it working but I can't figure out how to adjust the line spacing as the line starts again in the middle of the word PHASE 1.

I was wondering if someone here could spend a few mins drawing a line and the text PHASE 1 and another version with PHASE 2. and use express tools to dines them as linetypes and post the a wblock here for me to download.

So if you use GAS in the same file right next to it, that has no issues? Or is the break between PHASE and 1?

 

OR... Can you show us what you mean please?
And did you do more than just replace one work with another?

 

But first... is this a STYLE setting fix in the DWG file? The linetype uses STANDARD, and that might be different between your DWG files.

Change the size of the negative numbers before and after the text inclusion part of the linetype definition -- bigger number, bigger gap.  Experiment with them until you get a gap size you like, and change the negative number following X=- [something less in absolute value than the before-and-after numbers] to fine-tune the position of the text in the gap.
