Custom Linetype Won't Print Correctly

[CatCup]

Hi,

I created the below custom linetype.

*ARROW_LINES,---- > ---- > ---- > ---- >
A,5,-.1,[">",STANDARD,S=10,R=0.0,X=0,Y=-5],10

It shows up fine in the model window, but when I view it in the layout or plot preview windows (or plot it), it displays as a Continuous linetype. The layer it's on is set to plot.

Any ideas why the linetype doesn't show up?

I'm using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008.

make sure your LTscale and PSltscale are set to 1. do a regenall and see how it looks

Still no good . Thanks for the suggestion, though.

ok, I missed the dirt merchant part I'll assume it's a pline, if so have you done a pedit and checked the Ltype? should be on...then regenall once back in paper space

[CatCup]

The line is a polyline. Ltype was off, so I turned it on, but it didn't make any difference.

can you post.....n/m. you need 10 post's to be able to post. It doesn't sound that tricky if you can actually see it correctly at some point. See if someone else chimes in (until you can post it anyway)
sorry man

Try playing around with the values in your definition text. I draw in metres, and I played with your definition to end up with this....

*1T,---- > ---- > ---- > ---- >
A,5,-0.5,[">",ISO,S=2.5,R=0.0,X=-1.4,Y=-0.9]-0.5,5

And this is the linestyle I got.....

you cats and your metres (units in general allready)........ there is always info left out


argggg..........

[CatCup]

I'm drawing in meters too - albeit at a very large scale. My average line is about 400m long.

When I use the linestyle you posted, it just looks like a Continuous line - even when I zoom in as far as possible.

Is it a PL or is it a 3d Poly with different Z values?
