I created a linetype using text shape. Let’s say, that my line is only AAAAAA. Now when I apply this linetype in the drawing, the lines always have a small, line before and after the characters. Actually you see this: -AAAA- . How can I delete or hide the start and end lines.

I am wondering if it is possible to make a linetype that is essentially two continous lines (Or small dashes lines) overlayed atop one another. The purpose for this is to create a shadow effect (we use this for text on aerial imagery). The bottom line would be a thick white/black line and the top line would be the opposite so it stands out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to start a custom line type so that is starts and ends with "O". Right now, the default "FENCELINE1" has circles in it, but it starts and ends with a line.
Here's their code for the line:
*FENCELINE1,Fenceline circle ----0-----0----0-----0----0-----0--
A,.25,-.1,[CIRC1,ltypeshp.shx,x=-.1,s=.1],-.1,1
I already tried just putting the O's at the ends, and that didn't do it.
Below is a picture of what I'm looking to get. The top one is the FENCELINE1, the bottom one is just circles and lines, but that's how I want the linetype to look when they place it... so first click would have a circle, second click would have a circle, and the circles "in" the line would spread out evenly.
Just so you know... this is for guardrail inside a where house where it has the circle pillars on each end with circular pillars in the middle (every 8', but the spacing isn't crucial).
I would like to create a pull-down menu so that everyone can select a specific client and have all of the client specific settings be automatically set up like template file location, client block libraries, etc.
We have a lot of users with varying amounts of experience and have had trouble with people using the wrong templates, blocks, etc. Is there a list of key-in commands where I can find what I need to add into the .cuix file? Is there an easier way to set up client standards without forcing users to use a specific workspace?
With all of you fine teachers, I have the know-how to get the start and end values of a line.
Do you think there is a way to get a point returned that represents the true intersection of the two lines, without having to involke a user defined "getpoint" function using "intersect" osnap?
Whenever I open up at least 2 files, and move them around, inevitably 1 or more of them ends up behind the screen.I've just found 1 reason for this, but there may be more (I'm not looking for Photoshop problems when I work).
I also sometimes work with 2-3 programs and/or simultaneously being on the Net.Can all of my photos stay in front of the screen even if I most them around?
If I move my mouse pointer to the top Photoshop Bar, the photos start to hide behind the Photoshop screen. I only use Consolidate all to Tabs,or Float All in Windows

When I draw porches with railings, I often spend many minutes trimming out the objects behind the railing. So if my metal top rail is 1" thick (running horiz) and my vertical rails are 1" wide, 5" on center, I have to trim out all the lines inside those 1" rails.
I received an Autocad file from another designer not too long ago that had some sort of clear fill inside his rails, so the rails hid what was behind it (but it was not colored fill, black or white, or whatever... it matched the background color). If I erased the rail, the window behind it was there in it's entirety.
I tried to 'erase' the fill, but it does not seem to be there. I am so tired of spending 20-30 minutes per house just trimming out the doors and windows behind.
I am using acad2010, with medium expertise. I want to hide some part of lines so as to indicate the part is behind some object. I don't want to break the line as I need to create separate sketches for the same, or needs to list for the properties.
Refer attached drawing, fig 1 shows the actual model and fig 2 shows how I required when i print it.
If they have addressed the issue of being able to generate feature lines as a continuous linetype, like when you turn on linetype generation in a polyline? I can't find it anywhere and I would have thought this should have been addressed by now! Real basic need for plan creation!

I want to know how to create linetype with double lines one rectangle empty and other with solid in autocad(i am using autocad 2004)I tried by express tools with command mkshape (and then makelinetype command) but it is coming without solid, is it possible in autocad by using Autolisp, see attached dwg, name is linetype_ds

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there any way to hide construction lines in Part & Assembly sketches in the same way you can in a Drawing sketch?
I know you can change the line colour to the background colour but this makes the lines invisible in sketch as well.
Not being able to hide the construction is making some layouts pretty pointless since relevant detail is obscured by the construction lines. Grounding the geommetry and deleting the construcion lines isn't an option since the sketches are part of the design development and not fixed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs 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.
I 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.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Any way to build or download a linetype that can display as a thick dashed line surrounded by 2 parallel lines on either side of it?
We use them to denote underground stormwater pipes in our survey models.
Currently I need to manually set each line to a polyline, give it a global width, and then draw a DLINE of the same width from endpoint to endpoint. The down side is that not only is it laborious, I also have to set the Z values to zero, so we lose the elevation feature of the pipe in the model.
Ideally it would need to have enough functionality to alter the spacing of the dashes, and the width of the line.

How 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?
How 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?
