I'm trying to create a linetype for 2 face barrier and single face barrier and tried to create a shapefile of a hatch but without any success
I'm wondering then, what objects other than polylines, are supported ?

You should be able to do that with a MULTILINE Style, with the parts in different colors set to plot at different lineweights.
Hey @Kent1Cooper thx for the suggestion, i've never worked with MULTILINE
Ill give it a look
I think you cant assign a ML to a layer ?
Or even have a .lin definition of a ML ?

@cyberflow Start MLSTYLE command and the very limited choices or options will be on the pop-up for you to explore

(Hint: if you use CTBs you can get the line weights you seek)

Certainly you can assign one to a Layer, in fact you must -- all drawn objects have to be on some Layer. Unless you mean separate Layers for the elements within a MultiLine -- no, you can't do that.
MultiLines are defined as Styles, not .lin definitions. But you can assign different linetypes [as well as colors, the basis of my suggestion for different lineweights as plotted] to the separate elements within a Style.
You can definitely set the mline to a color and set the width of that color in the ctb. One way to get what you want is to use offset Plines with a width, but they will be individual plines not a single one. This example is 3 plines. the centre is dashed. Either pick a pline or line etc as the reference. You just have a lisp to do the correct offset and width settings.
