How can I edit an existing linetype and understand how it was made?

[GuyBrown]

Hi all

 

I've already looked in acad.lin and acadiso.lin but CONES isn't there.

 

I've attached my file with CONES linetype.

Any tips on how I can edit it and understand how it was made would be much appreciated?

wow. thanks. i've just found file new-lin.lsp which creates a .lin file of existing linetypes... it's saved it somewhere!?! on my pc, just need to find it now.

You can find it here, along with some other very useful routines: http://www.turvill.com/t2/free_stuff/index.htm

The LISP should work great for pre made .lin already in drawings but if your looking to understand them and create your own this could come in handy.

 

Always helps when ive not created any in a while to have a quick refresher
