Here's one way... you need to have a text style name Arial that uses the font file Arial.ttf

*GUIDE_RAIL_2,___0____0____0____0_____0_____0__
A,0.20,["\U+25CF",arial,x=-.1,y=.02,s=.1],0.20

Dear Friend;

 

Tanx So Much for a favor that you've done, but i've got Arial.ttf file in my PC, so i copied above mentioned code in acad.lin thus when i wanted to load it

in line style i'm facing below warning:

 

Would you please address the concern.

 

Best Regards

You need to make a Text style named Arial using the Style command. Having the font file Arial.ttf on your computer isn't enough.

Play with the linetype definition parameters (x, y, scale), maybe use your 'hollow' linetype as a guide; you'll figure it out.

 

By the way, welcome to CadTutor, where are you from?

[ReMark]

You can create the linetype you want using two tools you'll find in your Express Tools under the section called Tools. They are MKLTYPE and MKSHAPE. First you must create the shape that is your filled circle (use the Donut command). I've created a similar linetype for denoting DCS connections on a process piping and instrumentation diagram but I used an open circle.

[lpseifert]

if you're going to play around with shapes you might want to make the 'solid' with a closely spaced hatch and then explode it since shapes won't allow hatches or solid fills

[ReMark]

Really? I was able to create a shape file of a "donut". That's considered a solid fill isn't it?

[eldon]

I thought that a Donut was a polyline with width. When you explode it, there is a polyline left in the middle.
