ReMark Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Why can't you create the shape yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlx Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Long time ago (in a galaxy far far away) I made some shapes and linetypes but , damn , Alzheimer , old age... one quick and dirty way however to just add one to your acad.lin file something like : *C-Line,----C----C----C----C----C----C----C---- A,10,-1,["C",STANDARD,S=2.54,R=0.0,X=-1.27,Y=-1.27],0 I know , dirty ... but if you want better go learn about shapes and linetypes: but you maybe lucky and someone may have one already in his / hers / its library so the question is , to you feel lucky today , now do you?

rkmcswain Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Where did you get that screenshot? If you have a DWG file with this linetype in it, then you've already got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motee-z Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 I got the line in image i draw line and half circle then repeat it that is all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 It would probably take less than 30 seconds to create a shape. Maybe another 30 seconds to create a custom linetype using that shape. See MKSHAPE and MKLTYPE. That 30 seconds includes getting a cup of coffee too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) Of course if you have the AeccLand files you could just use the TREE symbol rotated for the linetype. *Line+Arc,Line & Arc --C----C--- A,.25,-.1,[TREE,AECCLAND,S=.1,R=90],-.125 Edited April 20, 2018 by tombu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 You could also add Text Style GDT using gdt.shx for the font then create GDT.lin file with *Line+Arc,Line & Arc --C----C--- A,.25,-.1,["\U+006B",GDT,S=.1,R=90,X=-.0,Y=-.11],-.125 as a linetype in your Roamable Support folder. You will need to modify the scales and spacing for your needs, but anyone with AutoCAD will be able to open your drawing without needing an extra shape file.

eldon Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 If you use a shape of the line and half circle combined to make the linetype, then when going around curves, the shape rotates individually and does not make a nice line. There are many fonts which have the half circle in the letter C, or even a wingdings font has the half circle. Much better, but harder, is to make the linetype with a line and the character strategically placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronjonp Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 This may help you make your linetype when you figure out the font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
