Creating a macro for specific linetypes

Hi all,

Is it possible to have a macro for drawing a specific linetype?

Thanks

Yes it is. Just make sure the linetype is either part of your template file or is loaded prior to using the macro.

I think I have read 8 posts tonight about how to do this or some thing close sorry !

Please people out there have a go at search first I find stuff from way back that answers my questions some times.

That would be too easy. It would also require a person to be able to come up with good search criteria to narrow down their choices.

Here's one option directly from AutoDesk.

Load linetype via macro without using dialog box for selection of LIN file

Issue

You would like to create a custom command that loads a specific linetype automatically, without any dialog box appearing.

Solution

To load a specific linetype without using a dialog box, use the following syntax in your macro:

^C^C_filedia;0;_-linetype;L;;"/";;filedia;1;

For example:

^C^C_filedia;0;_-linetype;L;ACAD_ISO02W100;"C:/Documents and Settings//Application Data/Autodesk/AutoCAD 2009/R17.2/enu/Support/acadiso.lin";;filedia;1;
