A4Mode Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 this has probably been answered before, but I can't seem to find it. I'm trying to edit an existing linetype using a unicode character, but I can't get it to load. What I really need is for the "O's" to be solid. I tried doing this with a shape, but it won't allow me to do a solid shape. Here is the existing linetype: *telephone10,----O----O----O----O---- A,66,-0,["O",ROMANS,S=0.396,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=0],66,["O",ROMANS,S=0.396,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-3.96] And Here's what I've tried: *telephone10,----O----O----O----O---- A,66,-0,["\U+25CF",Arial,S=0.396,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=0],66,["\U+25CF",Arial,S=0.396,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-3.96] Everytime I try to load this linetype, it gives me an error at line 2. I'm pretty new to this, so I'm sot sure if I need to do something special in AutoCad to use the unicode characters. Thanks in advance.

lpseifert Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 here's one I made for a guide rail, maybe you can make it work for you. Be sure there is already a defined text style named Arial, using the font Arial. *GUIDE_RAIL_2,___0____0____0____0_____0_____0__ A,0.20,["\U+25CF",arial,x=-.1,y=.02,s=.1],0.20 another option is to make a shape of a circle filled w/ hatch (not solid hatch).

ReMark Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 The "O's" could be solid if your made your custom linetype using the Express Tools Make Linetype command. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A4Mode Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Thanks! Turns out I didn't have a text style set for the Arial font. Worked like a charm! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
