Tankman Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 If you want to create a new custom linetype, you can use the manual way and edit the respective .LIN file using a text editor - e.g. NOTEPAD (following instructions in the AutoCAD Customization Guide). A more convenient way is to make use of the Express Tool and generate your linetype directly from a pre-drawn drawing (you can use PLINEs, SHAPEs...). For shapes you can use a similar tool.

CADJEDI1 Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Thanks calcad and jeffrey sanders, just found this forum and think this lisp is great! I am having a minor issue though... the links aren't at the correct orientation to show them actually linking together. Instead it looks more like - OIOIOIOIO Any ideas on how to fix this? I've been through the lisp text and am a bit clueless... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALCAD Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 CADJEDI1, It seems that the 'ang' variable is getting changed somehow. One thing that might help. Jeffrey didn't localize the variables in this program. You might try adding ang to the variable list in the DEFUN like this : (defun C:CHAIN(/ ang) That prevents the 'ang' value from being changed outside the program, possibly by another lisp. While you're at it, the safe thing to do would be to add all the variables to the list. Hope this helps. p.s. Another possibility is that one or both of the insert block files, chain1 and chain2 have been changed (rotated) somehow. Something to check.
