Topic: Rubber-band line for getpoint

[Kerry]

Has anyone come across the definition for the linetype and color for the Rubber-band line for getpoint function ??

Regards,

[David Bethel]

I just tried on every release I have access to ( 7 in all)

All were solid light gray lines.  I think it is hard coded into ACAD.  -David

You could use grread and create your own temporary

Code: [Select]

FWIW, you can force a dashed line using:

Code: [Select]

(initget 32)
(getpoint "\nTesting: " '(0 0 0))

I've done a proxy line along with a reactor and grread, but that was more work than it was worth.

I seem to recall it was grey or off white once.

but
2016 ( and 2015) are a dirty yellow with a hidden linetype ( about ltscale of 1)

2014 is a solid off-white line.

I draw on a black background.

Thanks for the input guys.

The aesthetics suit me ; and I have better things to do today than build a custom engine.
