draw special shape as Line

[motee-z]

Hello

can any one help to draw the shape as in attached image

[ReMark]

Why can't you create the shape yourself?

Long time ago (in a galaxy far far away) I made some shapes and linetypes but , damn , Alzheimer , old age...

 

 

one quick and dirty way however to just add one to your acad.lin file

 

 

something like :

 

 

*C-Line,----C----C----C----C----C----C----C----
A,10,-1,["C",STANDARD,S=2.54,R=0.0,X=-1.27,Y=-1.27],0

I know , dirty ... but if you want better go learn about shapes and linetypes:

 

 

but you maybe lucky and someone may have one already in his / hers / its library

 

 

so the question is , to you feel lucky today , now do you?

Where did you get that screenshot? If you have a DWG file with this linetype in it, then you've already got it.

I got the line in image

i draw line and half circle then repeat it

that is all

It would probably take less than 30 seconds to create a shape. Maybe another 30 seconds to create a custom linetype using that shape.

 

See MKSHAPE and MKLTYPE.

 

 

That 30 seconds includes getting a cup of coffee too.

Of course if you have the AeccLand files you could just use the TREE symbol rotated for the linetype.

*Line+Arc,Line & Arc --C----C---
A,.25,-.1,[TREE,AECCLAND,S=.1,R=90],-.125

You could also add Text Style GDT using gdt.shx for the font then create GDT.lin file with

*Line+Arc,Line & Arc --C----C---
A,.25,-.1,["\U+006B",GDT,S=.1,R=90,X=-.0,Y=-.11],-.125

as a linetype in your Roamable Support folder.

 

You will need to modify the scales and spacing for your needs, but anyone with AutoCAD will be able to open your drawing without needing an extra shape file.

If you use a shape of the line and half circle combined to make the linetype, then when going around curves, the shape rotates individually and does not make a nice line.

 

There are many fonts which have the half circle in the letter C, or even a wingdings font has the half circle. Much better, but harder, is to make the linetype with a line and the character strategically placed.

This may help you make your linetype when you figure out the font.
