Custom Line Types

Post by Clive » Mon Nov 23, 2015 9:31 pm

Hi
I couldn't remember if there was a way or an option to create custom line types ?

I need something like the dashedx2 but maybe a dashedx3 or 4. I am designing prototype paper/cardstock buildings that people can decorate themselves and when the kit is produced it needs perforated lines at certain places to aid the folding.

Thanks and looking forward to suggestions.

Linetypes can be added by adding custom .lin files to your local linetypes/metric or linetypes/imperial.

You can find more information in the tips and tutorials forum at:
viewtopic.php?f=47&t=3136

Or online if you search for "autocad lin format".
