Javatpoint Services JavaTpoint offers too many high quality services. For example, the Continuous Linetype appears like a solid unbroken line. The ByBlock is used to display the current linetype of the objects.
The dialog box will appear, as shown below: To know about the details of the current layer, click on the 'Show details' option on the top right corner of the dialog box. The available LineTypes are shown below: We can select the desired linetype according to the requirements.
When you load a linetype, you select the linetype definition file and a specific linetype from within that file. Two linetype definition files are available: acad.
Linetype scale controls the size and spacing of repetitions of the linetype pattern for each drawing unit. There are a number of scaling options that can affect how linetypes display and plot. The global scale factor affects the appearance of all the linetypes in the drawing. The default global scale factor is 1. The smaller the scale factor, the more repetitions and the smaller the spacing in each linetype pattern.
If you change the global scale factor, the appearance of all the linetypes in the drawing change. The current object scale, also called the current linetype scale, controls the linetype scale for new objects. Structural, construction Concrete Suits, shoes 9.

Ground types This will overlap the shape on existing geometry. On the next prompts of height and rotation angle simply press enter to accept the defaut values and exit the command.
Now we have the shape clearly overlapping the existing drawing. Now Specify a location where you want to save this linetype and give it a name.
Press enter again on the next prompt to skip adding any description. Now command line will prompt you to add starting point, click on the midpoint of the left line as shown in the red circle in the image below and second point right opposite as shown with the green circle.
Now click on the shape to select it and press enter. If the steps are not clear in the article then I suggest you check this video, it explains everything about making simple and complex linetypes. But, you can make this. This is the linetype which I made. All the characters of this file have a specific meaning. Here the length of the first segment is 1 then.
You can copy paste same set of codes inside a single. One such example is this file which has three different lientypes with slightly different types of lientypes as shown in the image below. There is no single command in AutoCAD with which you can export or import linetypes.
Actually, you need to use a combination of different techniques to import linetypes of different types from one drawing to other. To insert this linetype type LT and press enter. Linetype manager window will open up, click on Load button and then click on File button in the next window as shown in the image below and select the. The Load linetype window will open up with a list of linetypes available in your selected. Select all the linetypes that you want to load from this list and click OK.
You will notice that the linetypes will be loaded in the Linetype manager and now you can use them in your drawing. Simply click OK to close the linetype manager. If your current drawing does not contain that text style of the same name then first create the text style with the same name and then import the linetype.
Things are little different when your linetype contains shapes. In case of simple linetype containing text all you need to worry about is the text style which should be available in the drawing where you are importing the linetype. But for linetype containing shapes you also need to ensure that shapes are available in the drawing where you are importing those linetypes. You need to ensure that you already have the. Select shape window will open up, select the.
The shape is now loaded in the current drawing. Type CLT and press enter this is shape file we created in the second linetype example above and I am using this linetype here , the shape will now follow your cursor. Click at a point in the drawing area and press enter twice to accept the default value.
This step of inserting shape in the drawing may seem unnecessary but it is quite important as AutoCAD will now recognize the shape file used in the linetype once you insert it in the drawing.
