Need Line Type

IS THERE ANYONE WHO HAS A LINE TYPE FOR A CHAIN??

Jeffery P Sanders lisp instead:

Chain.lsp

Thanks Jeffery, I'll Give It A Try

File Requires Two Blocks Chain1 And Chain2 Would You Happen To Have Them As Well

I'll try to attach the zip file that contains the dwg's. Hey, I think it worked!

Chain.zip

Thanks Calcad

You're welcome.

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.

Express>Tools>Make Linetype

Express>Tools>Make Shape

Thanks for the lisp routine calcad, it works great!

wilson125, you're welcome but it was Jeffery Sanders that did all the work.

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...

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.
