    Default New linetype

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi,

    I need a line to show a fence and it should be a line with a / poking out on one side like -/-/- but the lines in between longer and the side lines just on one side...

    Any ideas of how to make one like that or where I can find one?

    AutoCAD 2012? One option would be to use two commands found under Express Tools called Make Shape and Make Linetype. Need more options see this link.

    Please check if the first definition from this previous thread is what you were loking for - it may require a little adjustment since use a double slash.
