AutoCad :: Code A Custom Linetype
Sep 12, 2013Is it possible to code a custom linetype, so that it only follow certain annotation scales (e.g. 1:100, 1:200 1:500) and so that it just appears as a continuous line below and above these certain scales?
The solution should work even when the drawing is used by others and apply to both modelpsace and paperspace (viewport).
AutoCad :: Custom Linetype Not Displaying In Other PCs

Jan 14, 2013Is 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).
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Custom Linetype To Use In Visualization?
Jul 1, 2013I am trying to create a linetype with a 3d shape included to represent road markings, i.e. central lines and edges etc.
For this I need a .shx file and I don't know how to create this as I am not allowed to select 3d objects when using the MKSHAPE command.
How can I best create a linetype with 3d objects?

AutoCad 2D :: Custom Linetype All Elements Are Same Colour
Jun 21, 2011I've been asked to produce a user defined linetype with a continuous line as its base and with a letter "X" at specific intervals. That's ok, but the kick is that the line should be one colour and the "X" in a different colour.
I suggested creating a block for the "X" and using measure to place the blocks on the line, but that is unacceptable. There will be a lot of lines and these will be at some point deleted/replaced and the "X" blocks would still be there. It would be possible to place all the "X"s for one line in a group so they could be deleted as a group, but in a relatively small drawing there will be several hundred of these lines and in a large drawing perhaps a couple of thousand.
As far as I'm aware in a custom linetype all the elements are the same colour.
AutoCad 2D :: Curve Text In Custom Linetype?
Jan 8, 2013I made a custom linetype to represent a pipeline. The line is abbreviated by 5 letters. My problem is when I reach and curve in the pipe (an elbow), the text string does not follow the curve. It remains straight for the remainder of the text. Is there a way (autocad 2013) to have the text follow the path of a curve?
edit: I saw one similar topic from 2008 in this thread: [URL] and the best response there is the one posted by eldon where you break the code down to each letter. Still, the picture in eldon's post makes the text a bit jagged. Have any changes been made to AutoCAD since this post that make this easier?
AutoCad 2D :: Custom Linetype With Text Display?
Feb 18, 2011I made a custom line type called EX (for existing pipes) which looks a little bit like this: - - - EX - - - EX - - - EX - - -
Line works great when I draw from left to right. However, when I draw a line from RIGHT to LEFT, the text displays upside down a little bit like this: - - - X3 - - - X3 - - - X3 - - - ("3" representing the mirror image of "E")
Same applies when drawing from bottom to top, or top to bottom. I totally understand the behavior here, and TBH I think it's OK it behaves that way.
Let's say I'm drawing existing water pipes going in all directions with a polyline. Is there a way to make the text display upward no matter what direction the pline is going?
AutoCad 2D :: Create A Custom Linetype For A Drawing
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.

Jul 24, 2013I am trying to create a custom linetype with solid circles at a specified distance along the custom linetype (see attachment). I have tried using a shape, the special Wingding character but cannot get the result I want. I've tried the hatching method, again with no luck. I've went through the discussion groups, online content, etc. but cannot get it to generate the line the way I want. I see a few people that have been successful but I cannot get it to work.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAutoCad 2D :: Rotated Text In Custom Linetype Won't Center
Apr 18, 2013I've created my first line type (woohoo!) but the rotated V that I used as an "arrow" won't center and I'm having a difficult time understanding why so that I can fix it. I am aware that linetypes like the one I created exist but I wanted the arrows a specific size and distance apart which I couldn't do with the existing linetypes available to me (also I really wanted to try creating a custom one).
In the attached picture:
-the green line is the finished custom linetype
-the red lines are polylines
-the blue text is rotated 90 degrees, set to a text style titled Linetype (simplex font, not annotative, height set to 0 and width set to 1.0), and Justify set to Bottom Center
linetypes-Model.pdf
The finished linetype code is:
*STREAM_LINE_W_ARROW_BIG,Stream_Line_W_Arrow_Big
A,.392629,["V",Linetype,y=-.07619,s=.2,u=90],.207371,-.144393,.011213,-.138787,.011213,-.138787,.011213,-.144393,.392629,["V",Linetype,y=-.07619,s=.2,u=90],.207371
Also, this the first time I've attached a picture, I'm not sure that I did it correctly.
AutoCad 2D :: Custom Linetype Doesn't Work As Expected
Apr 18, 2012why these (apparenlty) different two linetype codes give me exactly the same line when I draw them.
*ELEC_NEWLITE_U,ELEC_NEWLIGHT_U ----(N)L----(N)L----(N)L----(N)L----
A,.5,-.2,.5,-.2,["(N)L",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.25
*ELEC_NEWLITE_X,ELEC_NEWLIGHT_X-(N)L-(N)L-(N)L-(N)L-
A,30,-.2,["(N)L",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05]
With the first one I intend to see few small dashes "(N)L" few small dashes an so on. With the second one I want to see one long dash "(N)L" long dash "(N)L" and so on.
They both appear as few small dashes (N)L few small dashes and so on
How do I control how many dashes will be in the line? What is the coding definition for the text portion of the line between []?
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Prevent Dots On End Of Custom Linetype?
Sep 15, 2011I have a custom linetype that's just a series of arrows I want to use to show the flow of a ditch. I've played around with this thing for a while and have these dots at each end of the line that shows up when I print.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Getting Shapes In Custom Linetype To Reside In Drawing
Sep 17, 2013I have a client who requested some complex custom linetypes. (line - shape - line)
I built the shapes and stored them in my ltype.shp file, and compiled that to ltype.shx. Then I added the custom linetypes in my acad.lin file. So everything works on my machine with no problem. However, when I send the drawing to someone else, the linetype works, but the shapes are left out. My guess is that since her ltype.shx file does not contain my new shapes, the lines are just drawn without them.
Is there a way that I can have those linetypes, complete with shapes, ride along inside/embedded the dwg file?
And before you ask, no, it's not an option to provide the client with the shx file that contains these shapes. I'm one of many different people in many different companies that might work on these drawings in the future and there's just no way that they'll be able to send an shx file along with the drawing every time someone new needs to work on it.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Missing Migrate Custom Settings Dialogue Box
Nov 2, 2011We are curently using ACAD2011.
I installed ACAD2012 but never got the Migrate custom settings box upon opening ACAD2012 for the 1st time.
I reviewed Autodesk Help that ensured me that I could also find it thru:
<start...Autodesk mech 2012Migrate custom settingsmigrate from a previous release>
Epic fail... all that showed up there was export and import autoCAD 2012 settings.
Where oh where could my migration tools box have gone? Why is it not there?
(FYI, this happened to us when we upgraded from 2010 to 2011 also but we thought we had done something wrong so we eventually just manually transferred files over. That was very time consuming and we do not want to perform that exercise again.)
AutoCAD 2010 :: Missing Attribute Data With Custom Palette?
Oct 31, 2012This was my first go-around attempting to create a custom tool palette for our office. Everything was fine, the palette worked well. All of the block libraries and associated files were initially saved on my local drive. I then moved the files and folders out on the network, repathed all the items on the palette to the new area but for whatever reason when I insert blocks that have attribute data attached It is not recognizing it anymore. I am just trying to get this piece straightened out before I export the palette itself out to the network to share.

Photoshop :: Custom Device Profiles Missing After Upgrade To CS6
Jun 20, 2012I have custom profiles (created in ProfileMaker 5.0.10) for 9 Canon iPF5100/6100/8300 printers installed on my Mac OS X 10.6.8 MacPro. All worked fine using CS5 and CS5.5. They are Printer(X)-(Paper Type).After installing CS6 the Photoshop print dialogue Profile list doesn't show these profiles any more.
I've confirmed that the profiles are there and are working fine by running the CS5.5 versions of PS but they won't show up in the CS6 PS Print Profile menu. They also appear and work in the CS6 PS Soft Proofing dialogue.A question similar to this appeared in the PS CS6 beta forum, but was never answered.

Feb 21, 2013When inserting a content center part for which we have to choose a material, we would like to have a custom material as a default (material with name: "No material selected"). So when selecting no material for this part (for example when the user forgets to select a specific material), the default material (in this case material "No material selected") will be active. In this way, we can see in one view across the BOM which parts have no material assigned yet.
How can this be achieved in the content center (editor)?
