Autocad Linetype --/--/--/--/--/--/--

--/--/--/--/--/--/--/--

Hi,

I'm after the above line type but the line needs to be continuous. So far I have opened acadiso.lin and I am now stuck!

Any ideas?

You could use a slash from a text font, but if the TextStyle changes (someone changes the font or fixed text height), then it can mess it up.

You could use a shape from a shape file, but if you send the drawing out, you have to include the shape because it's not embedded.

Either way, if you don't want a space, then set the first parameter to a dash, then add the text/shape character as the next parameter, then add a second (required) dash parameter.

Example using a font character:

*Example,-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-
A,1.0,["/",standard,s=1.0,y=-0.48],0.0001

That's spot on that. Thanks very much! I don't use these that much so happy to get a quick fix!
