It could probably be done using Express Tools using commands to make linetype and make shape.

I see 3 line types in your image, do you want the one that looks like
----s----s----s ?

The OP is interested in the top most line not the two below it. I know because the OP posted a verbal description of the linetype at another CAD forum.

Have you tried using a multi-line? This looks like it is comprised of 3 lines (2-continuous either side of a width adjusted polyline). You could mimic this with the three lines, simply offsetting the centerline and changing the ltype to continuous and the width to 0.

I do this using a line type that is equal spacing the gap is the same as the drawn length, then just PE and enter width as pipe dia then just linetype scale and make dashed 2.4m and you can count up how many pipes needed yes you add two continuous lines to outside a lisp makes easier.

here the linetype

thanks for your help,
can i make a multiline with polylines ? i thought only with lines

I still think it is possible to make the desired linetype using the MKSHAPE and MKLTYPE commands found in Express Tools. May take a little experimentation but consider it a course in expanding your knowledge.

thanks guys! i finally did it with MKSHAPE & MKLTYPE! and Remark you r right, it took a little experiment , it was a good course

Now you'll be the "go to" person when it comes to explaining how it is done and we can all go fishing! It's a win-win.
