MR MAN Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Is There Any Way Convert Line Shape As In Attached Drawing To Linetype Directly?

Tiger Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 a sidenote, just in case - you know that the command REVCLOUD does exactly that type of line? And with Ortho on you can draw it straight with no problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR MAN Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Thanks Tiger But You Don't Understand Me I Mean I Want Use This Shape In Acad.lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I do understand you, I just thought if you didn't know about REVCLOUD I would fill you in, since that is how the linetype you want to do looks like. I don't know how to do custom linetypes, there is a description in AutoCAD help that is fairly good, but it doesn't say anything about curved lines as far as I can see, perhaps you can add an image to it, I do not know. Forgive me fro trying to find a simple solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 To expand on Tiger's suggestion, when using REVCLOUD, you can choose a line already drawn to convert to the revcloud arcs, and also an option to reverse the linetype if the arcs are facing the wrong way. However if you want to compile a shape, and then compile another shape the other way, in case the arcs are facing the wrong way, make a .lin file, and then if you send the drawing anywhere, you will have to send the .lin file and the .shx file, and tell the user how to add these files so that your linetype shows up - feel free. Me, I would use the easy way as Tiger suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
