CadTechJGC184 Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I am doing some Mechanical plans and I need a line with an "S" in it and another one with a "W" in it. Can someone post them for me? Also, do i just cut and paste it into my drawings? Thank you!! Quote
ReMark Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Might I suggest that you try making them yourself? You do know you can copy and edit linetypes within the acad.lin file right? The linetypes do not have to be copied and pasted if they exist in your lietype file. Quote
CadTechJGC184 Posted April 21, 2009 Author Posted April 21, 2009 I'm not sure how to do that? I checked to see if I had them already. I don't!! Any suggestion? Quote

A1DWG Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 I am doing some Mechanical plans and I need a line with an "S" in it and another one with a "W" in it. Can someone post them for me? Also, do i just cut and paste it into my drawings? Thank you!! Could you be a bit more specific, as I might have a suitable linetype for adaptation. Firstly, what side of the Atlantic are you? or do you work in imperial or metric units? Second, the line - continuous, with a short break for the text? Third, the size and spacing of the text? I shall have a look and see if I have anything suitable / adaptable Quote
ReMark Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Everyone should try their hand at designing one custom linetype. It's good practice and in this case the task would not be that difficult. Quote
NBC Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Remember the days before Express Tools MKLTYPE, when you had to tinker around in .lin files ? Quote
ReMark Posted April 22, 2009 Posted April 22, 2009 Yes, I do. I also tinkered around with menu files before the advent of cui files. Quote
