AutoCAD 2010 :: Create A Linetype
Jul 1, 2013Is it possible to create a linetype that has a shape that and spacing between the shape that would always be the same? I want to create a linetype that would have a shape that would always be 2 feet across with 20 feet between each occurance whether its in a 20 scale view port or a 60 scale view port.

Jun 7, 2012Currently in process of a quick fix, trying to create a linetype that should place a number in between the lines.
*One, Places 1 in between lines A,5000,-50,["1",CompatecStandard,U=0,Y=-125],-150
That's as far as I've gotten and it pretty much does what I want it too, but right now it is set to 5000mm before it makes a gap with a number. I would like that gap to be dependent on the length of the line... is that possible?
For example, if the line is only 4000mm I want the gap to be after 2000 instead of 5000.

May 17, 2013Is it possible to creat a linetype that doesn't repeat.
What I'm after is a line consisting of:
Long Line
Space
Short Line (roughly 1/3 length of long line)
Space
Long Line
( ______ __ ______ )
But that is all I want to see, regardless of the distance between the start and end points. I use this a lot for laying out joists.
I know I could make a dynamic block of it, but that would mean streaching every line between the two points.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Set Psltscale Per Linetype
May 16, 2012I am wanting a soultion to a problem I am having when trying to have a combination of linetypes I either want psltscaled or not in a view port.
I.e. I want services linetypes to use psltscale = 1 and I want my linemarking linetypes to use a psltscale = 0, as I need the linemarking linetypes to show in the viewport at the original size they were created at but not the services linetypes as they look horrible.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Linetype Changes On Plot
Feb 4, 2013I have an file where the linetype of a line will modify on print. The linetype will only 'move' when the endpoint of the line is outside the viewport.
I have attached a pdf to show what is happening along with the drawing file.
Another interesting thing is that when I change thickness of the linetype, it also moves.
I have tried recreating the polyline, reversing the polyline direction, auditing the drawing, but nothing.
AutoCad 2D :: Create Linetype With Arrow Shape
Jan 29, 2014I'm looking to create a linetype where I can incorporate a specific arrow shape. The best way of going about this? The application is to show on general layout plans the escape route with a polyline with the incorporate arrow.

May 28, 2013I want to create a custom linetype for a drawing but am unsure of the best method to use. I only need this linetype for 1 drawing and so I would like it embedded in that drawing if possible. Other people may need access to this file so sending a custom file is out of the question.
Should I create a new .lin file or edit the default acad.lin?
I started to create one using Express Tools and when it prompted me to create / save a new .lin file it defaulted to the 'C:Program FilesAutodeskAutoCAD 2012 - English' folder. I was unsure if to save it here or 'C:Program FilesAutodeskAutoCAD 2012 - EnglishUserDataCacheSupport', where ACAD's .lin is stored.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Linetype Scales Are Inconsistent?
Mar 26, 2012Trying to set a Phantom line as the property line and also use dashed lines (ACAD_ISO03w100)

AutoCAD 2010 :: Linetype Shape File
Jul 25, 2012How to compile a "master" .shp file that would include the coding for all of my shape files for custom linetypes. I did this years ago for a specific set of linetypes but I can not remember how I did it.
I know ACAD has the linetype.shp file that includes coding for ACAD supplied custom linetypes.
I think I remember inserting all of the shapes into a drawing and somehow compiling the *.shp file. Is that how it is done?
AutoCAD 2010 :: Linetype Scales And Display?
Aug 12, 2013How do I set up a dwt so that linetypes appear the same no matter what the scale of the viewport. I tried AutoCad help but the recommended fix if I am reading it correctly is psltscale set to 1. That didnt work. We normally set our ltscale to 0.5. Should the scale of linetypes be controlled by the scale of the viewport? Isnt the scale of the viewport supposed to be multiplied by the ltscale so that the linetypes always appear the same no matter what the veiwport scale?
View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: Linetype Scale Not Compatible Between Two Drawings
Oct 5, 2012I work very closely with a customer, and have been asked to implement their drafting standards for a dwg file they received from another vendor. I have attached two drawings, 1 (their vendor's) and 2 (mine, in progress). When opened, I notice the linetype scale *appears* different between the drawings (note the differences within "LINE LEGEND" section of both drawings). It *appears* as though Drawing 2 has double the linetype scale of Drawing 1.
I realize that within Drawing 2 I could set the LTSCALE variable to 0.5, but that seems like a work-around and may cause problems with other aspects of the customer's drafting standards in the future.
I've already confirmed that both drawings have the same values for LTSCALE, PSLTSCALE, MSLTSCALE, CELTSCALE. I've also already confirmed that, for the "PACKAGED EQUIPMENT" entry with the legend, the properties dialog box shows the exact same values for all fields. Lastly, (trying [URL] .....) I re-loaded the linetype for PHANTOM2.
I'd like to have them both appear the same, if possible.

View 7 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: Where Do Plot Styles Get Linetype Definition
Feb 16, 2012I'm trying to set the plot styles to use specific linetypes for given colors. The theory is that using adaptive linetypes, then lines that are color 50 for example will always display dashed regardless of the length. This seems to work great, except that I'm not happy with the linetype scale (dashes plot too long). Obviously changing linetypescale does not work because adaptive is turned on. So the only solution I could think of was to change the actual linetype definition, but the acad.lin file does not seem to be related to the linetypes shown in the CTB editor (or is it?). How to change the linetype definitions that are linked to the ctb style?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD 2010 :: Linetype Is Not Scaling Based On Annotative Scale
Oct 17, 2012I have a drawing (attached) with the following settings: LTSCALE = 1, MSLTSCALE = 1, PSLTSCALE = 1.For some reason the linetype is not scaling based on the annotative scale. It will update correctly if I change the LTSCALE but for some reason it wants to ignore the MS and PSLTSCALE variables.
As a note, the drawing was converted from a Microstation drawing and the linetype is a converted Microstation linetype.Is there something in the linetype that is doing this.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Control Linetype Scaling - MSLTSCALE / PSLTSCALE
Oct 19, 2012I think the MSLTSCALE / PSLTSCALE / annotation scales are fantastic to use when showing the details / plan at different scales (1:100 / 1:50 / 1:1) without having to use LTS to show different scales. I am using AutoCAD 2011.However, I noticed one snag. In the old Autocad before the MSLTSCALE was introduced, I used a shape linetype - a sino shape which I created for insulation in the wall cavity as well for curtain in the interior plan layout (with MSLTSCALE set at 0 and LTS set at scale factor at 1 and use paperspace scaling at desired scale.
When MSLTSCALE / PSLTSCALE are set at 1, the sino linetype will of course changed accordingly to different scale .I prefer to keep the MSLTSCALE / PSLTSCALE at the default 1 with LTS at scale factor 1 as I want the dashed linetypes to updated accordingly to the scale. At the same time I don't want to have the sino linetype changed (keeping the sino linetype at constant 100mm width). Is there a way to control one linetype at MSLTSCALE = 0 and keep the rest of the linetypes at MSLTSCALE = 1.
I don't think it is possible as MSLTSCALE is for general setup. Instead I would have to forgo using the sino lintype and used a block instead. But a way to control an individual linetype scaling.
