Topic: Create a linetype

[Fabricio28]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to create a custom linetype. But I don't know how to do that.

I'm attaching a dwg example.

Thank in advance

There is a nice linetype generator around here somewhere.

AutoCAD Express Tools to be installed. On the Express Tools tab of the Ribbon, expand the Tools panel to find the Make Linetype and Make Shape buttons.

Guys,
Thank very much for replay.

It's good. 

But I'd like make  something more specific. Start and End point with 1.0 and Gap with 6.0. Is it possible?
Just like the example.

The distance is dependent on your ltscale setting. If it's set to 1, then the following simple linetype should work:

*FOO,FOO_    _    _    _    _
A,1.0,-6.0

Thank you Ron,
But I have to change the linetype scale to 10.0 to work fine!

How Can I set the scale from the file?

Your drawing has an ltscale of 0.1 so multiple the -6.0 * 10 & an object ltcale of 1 should work.

or look into CELTSCALE

Perfect my friend

Hi mjfarrell

I've changed CELTSCALE to 10.0. 

Thank you

[mjfarrell]

one could also set the layer that uses this linetype to the desired scale and leave CELTSCALE alone...

Am I reading this right? Is it possible to set LTSCALE by layer? If so, I didn’t know that was possible.
Or do you just mean select all the objects on the layer and change their linetype scale?

[mjfarrell]

within Civil3d Object styles one can set ltscale by layer

Thanks. I'll look for that.
