goldy2000 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hello, anybody knows how to export or extract lines (all in drawing) from drawing to separate .lin file??? Maybe it was theme in this forum but didn't see it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 It sounds like you received a drawing from some other source with custom linetypes that you like so much you want them for your own. Is this correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I think you may need a LISP routine to do that. There is one posted here: http://forums.cadalyst.com/showthread.php?t=5601 Page down to the entry by jonwilli. He has posted a routine called LLTYPES.LSP written by Greg Oliver. I can't tell you that it will work for sure in 2004 but give it a try. Another place to look for LISP routines is cadalyst magazine in their CAD Tips section.

dbroada Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I thought that you had to have the .LIN file on your system to display the line correctly in the drawing. If so, you don't need to export the definition file, you only need to locate it on your hard drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this correct? Yep, I received it and it is very usable for my job, so wanna complete it in one .lin file, the problem is that I received couple od different .dwg and .dwt files and want to extract all interesting lines to one file:geek: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it also couple days ago and I tried that lisp, but it couldn't extract lines to .lin file, so every time I must open with exact .dwt file where I have all these lines, maybe to ask in LISP section on forum, maybe someone there can help us with LISP soultion, thx for your time ReMark:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldy2000 Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 Maybe that lisp creates .lin file, but I couldn't find it... http://forums.cadalyst.com/showthread.php?t=5601 I saw that someone also had problems with finding it..any suggestions??
