Linetype overlapping itself - how to resolve?

Does anybody know how to keep a linetype pattern from overlapping the line? I have a lintype that places lines on a 45 degree slant along it. When it turns a corner the pattern overlaps the line.

Anybody know a fix?

Here is my code in the linetype file if it helps:

*UNSURVEYED,_\_\_\_\_\

A,.09,0.002,["I",Standard,s=.38,r=45,x=0,y=0]

I have a line type just like that, It was the result of my first ever post on Cad Tutor!

Thanks again Erona!

My line type did that too, I don't think that there is a solution. You may have to break your polyline into single lines to get it to look the way you want. with Autocad 2010 You can reverse the direction of a polyline, so you don't have to manually re draw it the other way around:

and in 2011 you can have the read direction automatically change.

Breaking it doesn't help at all. The pattern still runs past the end of the single line.

There must be a way to do this.

Not fixable with a linetype, patterns can't self-adjust.

You could use a hatch to get this effect for building outlines, that's what we use.

Same here. Slick idea though.

Good idea that man...

Slick stuff; I like. Is it your coding?

Yes, it is my own code, and some cut and paste.
