ReMark Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It could probably be done using Express Tools using commands to make linetype and make shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph_map Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I see 3 line types in your image, do you want the one that looks like ----s----s----s ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_borec Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 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 *EQUAL100,_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A,3.00,-3.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organic Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 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. That is how I have always seen it done when using that line style.
