I am looking for the way to add a new linetype in Acad.lin . I am using this below command to load existing line types in drawing,but I need to modify the Acad.lin and add a new lineType Cross which looks like -XXXXXXXX- through this command.
[CommandMethod("AttachLinetype")]
public static void LoadLinetype()
{
// Get the current document and database
Document acadDoc = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
Database acadCurDb = acadDoc.Database;
// Start a transaction
using (Transaction acadTrans = acadCurDb.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
{
// Open the Linetype table for read
LinetypeTable acLineTypTbl;
acLineTypTbl = acadTrans.GetObject(acadCurDb.LinetypeTableId, OpenMode.ForRead) as LinetypeTable;
// prompt receive the Layer name
PromptStringOptions pLineTypeName = new PromptStringOptions("\nEnter LineType name: ");
pLineTypeName.AllowSpaces = true;
PromptResult pLineTypeRes = acadDoc.Editor.GetString(pLineTypeName);
string sLineTypName = pLineTypeRes.StringResult;
// string = "Center";
if (acLineTypTbl.Has(sLineTypName) == false)
{
// Load the Center Linetype
acadCurDb.LoadLineTypeFile(sLineTypName, "acad.lin");
}
// Save the changes and dispose of the transaction
acadTrans.Commit();
}
Any help would be highly appreciated.Thanks in advance
}
