Need Some Custom Linetypes

[Tankman]

Remark

The only reason I used Elect is to keep the number of letters the same as water, the GAS line isnt one of mine it was already in the drawing lol

 

Yes the length of line is not the same as it is in the water version

 

Try this lisp routine, I forget if I've posted it in the past.

Took all of a minute each to generate the three linetypes.

Tried a longer text, simple enough.

When you look at the line definition, any positive number is a pen down length (line), and any negative number is a pen up length (space).

You can start off with the examples shown, and basically the line starts off with the dash, then the text is defined in the square brackets, and you accept where the text is, but you can vary the spaces before and after the text so that it is centralised.

Thanks Tankman works a treat, it only seems to be saved in the drawing not in the acad.lin or acadiso.lin is that correct?

[ReMark]

That would make sense. You'll need another lisp program to extract the linetype definition files.

linout.vlx extracts the linetypes from a drawing into a new .lin file, where they can be copy/pasted into acad.lin

Saved in the drawing sparkyuk! I've used the lisp for quite sometime, wouldn't leave home without it!
