Overwrite Line Type of DrawingCurveSegment

[C_Haines_ENG]

I cant find how to overwrite the linetype of a line to a custom linetype I have created. I tried to follow the hints but it doesnt seem to work. 

oCurve.GetCustomLineType("HIDDEN_V2","Hidden_V2 ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____ ____")

That is the code im using, I have looked far and wide on the forms and noboby ever seems to have done this.

Does this help?

Public Sub Main
	
	Try
		Dim a As Inventor.DrawingDocument = ThisDrawing.Document
	Dim b As Inventor.DrawingCurveSegment
Do While True
	Dim f As Inventor.SelectionFilterEnum = Inventor.SelectionFilterEnum.kDrawingCurveSegmentFilter
	b = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(f, "Pick a Drawing View curve")

	Dim l As Inventor.DrawingStylesManager = a.StylesManager' ThisApplication.StylesManager
For Each ls As Inventor.Layer In l.Layers
	'MsgBox (ls.Name)
	Next
	'Dim la As Inventor.Layer = l.Layers.Item("1:02")
	Dim la As Inventor.Layer = l.Layers.Item("02")

	b.Layer = la

	If b Is Nothing Then
		Exit Do
		End If
	Loop
		Catch
			End Try
	
	End Sub

Actually this time you may need to go up a step.  The DrawingCurveSegment has the Layer property, but the DrawingCurve has the LineType & LineWeight property that you can set.

Also, just in case you did not already know, the DrawingCurve.GetCustomLineType method requires you to create those two 'input' variables ahead of time, with no values set to them yet, then that method will fill in the values for you to those variables.  Then the DrawingCurve.SetCustomLineType() method requires you to input the full file name of the line types file to reference, then the name of the line type, then a Boolean indicating whether to replace an existing line type.

SetCustomLineType did the trick

oCurve.SetCustomLineType("FILE PATH","HIDDEN_V2",True)
