custom line type with alternating text

[andre amzi]

Hi. How do I create a custome line type with alternating text as description like this:

 

-------- - e -------- - (oh) -------- -------- e

 

thanks!

Please fill free to adjust this one to suit exactly your needs:

*ANDRE_LINE,Andre alternate line ---E----??----E----??----EE---
A,.5,-.2,["E",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.02,.5,-.2,["??",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.1

Hi Mircea.

After doing some adjustment on the linetype setting that you gave me this what I got:

*ut-elec-oh-e,elec ovhd line ---e----oh----e----oh----e---

A,9.5,-1,9.5,-.75,["e",STANDARD,S=2,R=0.0,X=-.05,Y=-.5],-1.75,9.5,-1,9.5,-1,1,-1,["(oh)",STANDARD,S=2,R=0.0,X=-0.5,Y=-.5],-5.5

 

there's just one more dash missing before "e" just like the dash before "(oh) that I cannot add.

please help.

 

thanks,

Paul

Sorry, but I'm afraid that this is not possible since your definition already reached the limit of 12 allowed dash specifications.

A possible workaround:

*ut-elec-oh-e,elec ovhd line ---e----oh----e----oh----e---
A,9.5,-1,9.5,-.75,["-",STANDARD,S=2,R=0.0,X=-.05,Y=-1],-.01,[" e",STANDARD,S=2,R=0.0,X=-.05,Y=-.5],-2.7,-1,9.5,-1,["-",STANDARD,S=2,R=0.0,X=-0.5,Y=-1],-0.01,[" (oh)",STANDARD,S=2,R=0.0,X=-0.5,Y=-.5],-8
