bennyhenry Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 I'm using AutoCAD 2010 and have a problem with a particular electrical linetype that's a company standard (I'm new to the company). The linetype itself is to represent an electrical power conduit, and we have it shown like this: ------P ------P ------P ------ (note that the dashes don't represent a dashed linetype, it's meant to be continuous ) As my technical CAD knowledge only extends as far as editing some commands on the .PGP file, I was wondering if anyone can advise how I can edit it to look more like: -----P-----P-----P----- Thanks in advance.

MSasu Posted July 1, 2010 Posted July 1, 2010 Locate your acad.lin file (or the linetype library that you use), open it with NOTEPAD and search inside for that particular linetype definition. It should look like below example - try to play with the red value to adjust the right side gap: *P_LINE,Line with "P" ----P----P----P----P----P----P-- A,.5,-.15,["P",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],[color=red].15[/color] To see the effect of your modifications, re-load the linetype and do a regen. Good luck! By the way, please make a back-up copy of that file before start to play with it. Regards, Quote
