Topic: Another Linetype

[POCKETS]

Cab, Ronjomp,
If I could, again, ask a favor.  I would like a linetype with a continuous line with solid circles at given intervals.  ----o----o----
Thanking you in advance, I am
Pockets

Like this?

*O, ---- O ----
A,.5,-.2,["O",Standard,S=.125,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.15

[Gliderider]

I hope I'm not stepping on any toes...
This will give you solid circles; you need to have a textstyle named Arial using the arial.ttf font file, height=0

Code: [Select]

*DOTS,Dots .___.___.___.___.___
A,.5,-.025,["\U+25CF",ARIAL,S=.1,R=0,X=0,Y=-.045],-.1

Ronjomp,
Thanks. Almost.  I would like solid circles and no space between the circles.


Lpseifert,
I am not allowed to use the Ariel font but thanks anyway.

Not completely solid...but closer:

*Wheee,--o--
A,.189743,-.000569,["o",Standard,y=-.038774,s=.1125],-.009375,["o",Standard,y=-.02889,s=.084375],-.007031,["o",Standard,y=-.022123,s=.063281],-.005273,["o",Standard,y=-.016202,s=.047461],-.003955,["o",Standard,y=-.012259,s=.035596],
-.002966,["o",Standard,y=-.009203,s=.026697],-.046888,.189743

btw...that was created with the express tool MKLTYPE.

Ronjonp,
Thank you

I would have opted for a SHAPE. Way to think outside the box there Ron.

Here's another version Pockets:

*Snowflake,---*---
A,.5,-.000191,["x",Standard,y=-.015397,s=.125,r=315],-.011157,["x",Standard,y=.041001,s=.125,r=270],-.020833,["x",Standard,y=-.063166,s=.125],-.026935,["x",Standard,y=.072991,s=.125,r=225],-.029463,["x",Standard,y=-.074323,s=.125,r=45],
-.026935,["x",Standard,y=.061834,s=.125,r=180],-.020833,["x",Standard,y=-.042333,s=.125,r=90],-.01053,.000627,["x",Standard,y=.014065,s=.125,r=135],.499373

Ronjonp,
I like snowflakes Thanks

The nice thing about using Characters and not Shapes is that you don't have to send the shape files when sending the DWG file.

Problem with characters is that if someone has a differant font for STANDARD text style you can get some unexpected linetypes.

So each has its advantages & disadvantages.

Ronjonp,
I like snowflakes Thanks

Who doesn't??!?   

[ronjonp]

On another topic...do any of you have something that will strip out not found shape files for linetypes or know how to suppress the message on drawing startup? I have so many projects where shape files are missing...that's why I've gone away from using them in linetypes.

Maybe this:

Code: [Select]

;;;-------------------- START OF FILE ------------------------
;;;  source
;;;  http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/item?siteID=123112&id=2896848&linkID=2475323

;;; DESCRIPTION
;;; This routine deletes all shapes in the drawing
