Topic: Double Line Type

[nyah]

Hi Cad-Jedi Knights

Is it possible to create a linetype that has a solid line and offset to that by 1.25 a dashed line which together in engineering terms measn a pipe is heat traced or insulated

Solid Line is the Pipe
Dashed Line is the Insulation

Currently using Autocad 2011 LT  [[Unfortunately]]

see attached drg

Thanks all

If AutoCAD LT 2011 includes MLINEs, you could use them to do this.
I know LT 2009 did not include support for MLINEs, but I'm not sure about 2011.
I created one in the attached drawing.

Hi,

I don't even think "mlines" are available in AutoCAD Lt 2012.  :realmad:

Dynamic Block with two lines in it, and a 'stretch' grip? :/

There really is no good way to utilize double/triple lines...even if you have MLINE function included :/

I think the easiest way to get the look of the result you want would be to draw a pline, then offset it and change the linetype of one of 'em to hidden / dashed.

That's just me, though.

Or...use Civil 3D and use the desired Pipe Style to draw your insulated pipes.

Thanks chaps

Some idiot draffie is convinced AcadLT 2011 is the way forward but each time we find ourselves hitting snags this draffie is low on solutions
