AutoCad 2D :: Why Circle Not Showing Particular Linetype
Apr 2, 2012why a circle is not showing the particular linetype (no matter what scale I adjust it to) until I break the circle line?

View 9 RepliesI am currently running AutoCAD 2013 LT on a Windows 7 64 bit system. I was recently running this same software on a 32 bit system computer and everything was running properly. After the upgrade, I have noticed a linetype issue that I cannot seem to get a handle on.
We use a "insul" linetype on building sections that should come out looking like an architectural insulation pattern. After upgrading to the new computer, this linetype only reads as dots, nothing else. I have gone to other comnputers in the office that are displaying this linetype properly and have copied their acadlt.lin as well as acadltiso.lin files over to my computer and it has not solved the problem.
How do I set my brushes / tools .. to show brush size circle boundaries just like every other version of PSE?? all i get is a picture of the icon and no circle boundry. Have not control over my brush.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI must have fat fingered something and I now when I click on the Eraser Tool or the Brush Mask Tool instead of getting a circle or square, I get and icon of the tool instead. They still work but they're harder to use without seeing the circle or square depending on what's selected. I've been using Corel for many years and never had this happen and I can't figure out how to switch back.

I do not have time to learn how to make linetypes as I am still learning the basics of the program.
How i would create a new linetype in AutoCAD LT 2004. For example creating an electrically traced line that is a dashed line with the letter E in the line.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI work with a drawing that for some reason don't have a proper fence line in it. I tried to load another .lin file, but still the fence line looks funny. The line I'm after looks and work ok in alla other files but this one!
I tried to copy paste a fence line from another drawing but what's pasted is just half the linetype...
The line should look like this -- / ---- / ---- / ---- but comes in as -- ---- ---- ----
Why do I loose the slashes?
*FENCEONBOUNDARY, Fence on boundary _____ / _____ / _____ / _____
A,.7,["/",STANDARD,S=.05,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],.1
The result should look like ----- / ----- / ----- / -----

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using Map 3D 2013
I have several drawings in which I want to use a line type (centrex2) at a specific scale. The scale setting is exactly the same in all the drawings but in some the line type is coming out at different scales, all larger, but not the same or to a set factor. All the entities in question are poly lines (2d).
I have checked in all drawings that:
global scale factor and current object scale in the line type manager are the same (1.0)drawing units are the same (unitless)‘use paper space units for scaling’ is always deselected line type generation is always enabled.
Currently 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.

my linetype scales in model space look good, when i go to paper space to print the linetypes are huge and way out of wack. what is my problem?
View 3 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.
Is there a proper way to change the settings so the linetypes in model and layout will look the same? Or do I have to change ltscale?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have recently started using AutoCAD so I'm still figuring it out. I would like to create a line like this
¯¯¯V¯¯¯¯¯¯V¯¯¯¯¯¯V¯¯¯¯¯¯V¯¯¯¯¯¯V¯¯¯ and another one like this ¯¯V¯¯ ¯¯V¯¯ ¯¯V¯¯ ¯¯V¯¯ ¯¯V¯¯ (where the Vs link up with the line).
I have tried to do this through the lin file and have failed. The lines don't meet up, the gaps aren't in the right place and the line does not run along the top but in the middle: I have fiddles around with it but it complicated and long to do. I have also investigated creating these lines using express tools but it seems that this tool is not an option in AutoCAD LT 2010.
Is it possible to find from which linetype file(acad.lin or acadiso.lin) , the existing linetype definitions (CENTER2) are loaded to the current drawing.
We have drawings, some of the linetype definitions are loaded from acad.lin.
Need to reload the linetypes from acadiso.lin.
I have downloaded a slew of AutoCAD linetype files and have tried to "cut and paste" them into my acad notepad with no success - (maybe that's where I'm going wrong, right off the bat). Anyway, after pasting the lines of text into my notepad and saving the updated notepad, I return to AutoCAD only to find that the linetypes are not available for use.

How do I detect if the linetype is in the Linetype file? How do I do my error checking here in the ACAD way? Currently I just search the acad.lin or sfr.lin Text File to see if the LineType Exists. This works.
But I was curious how would you check the linetype file via the Acad API,to see if the linetype definition name exists in the file?
I have a layer that's set up to use dashed lines, but in the drawing it comes out as a solid line.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIn model space I draw a line with a particular linetype, say a fence row, and I adjust the linetype scale so that it reads like I want it, but then when I go to paper space, it's just a plain line no matter what I set the linetype scaling to?
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I draw a line at my template it always has the line type scale 5 as default under properties.
I know that I can chance this by hand or chance a basic line type scale with the command "lts".
But all the lines in the drawings of our partner have the line type scale 1 under properties. So if I used "lts", there would either my lines or their lines be scaled wrong. Also I don't want to chance the default line type scale of each line by hand.
Is there a possibility to set up something that each line I'm drawing, starts with a specific line type scale as default under properties?
I have a polyline in my drawing, consisting of arcs and lines all joined together. It is a waterline and I cannot get it to reverse.. it is reading ----M----- instead of -----W-----

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.
I want to create a linetype just like this but cant seem to get it right..

However when printing a "25mm" thick version of the batting linetype drawing it prints as a straight line. Our other scales are fine.
The linetype views correctly in model and paper space just not when printing.
