ReMark Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 It might be doable using two Express Tools commands. They are Make Shape and Make Linetype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 You're referring to a block with an attribute, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 So, what's your question? I assume you know how to create a block. Is that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGAL Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 keiths, here in Aus there is a product called HFS fonts I do not know if they still exist but they have hundreds of traffic signs to AS standards it uses True type fonts with text styles a "Regulatory Signs Set1" type 0 (zero) and a stop sign appears, as well as a description with correct part label, we have been using for years. Re Orange line 0.6 wide with blanks no probs use a pline make 0.6 wide, here is a couple of freebies for you, save to say Custom.lin and then just use Linetype load, play with linetype scale or make new line types with correct spacing for the proposed plot scale. *EQUAL200,_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A,3.0,-3.0 *CONTINUITY250,______ ______ A,3.00,-9.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
