Linetype

Linetype

Linetype

(OP)
I am trying to draw a line that is broken at the end and the beginning.  I would like the line to be continuous in between.  I am trying to represent beams in a floor plan the frame between other members.  I know that I could just shorten the lines, but it would be nice if I could use set the work points of the line where I really want the member to be represented.

RE: Linetype

Hi,

Why don't you try this linetype definition on your .PAT file?

*xCont, Continuous line within spaces
A,0,-.1,10,-.1

You can change the dimensions of spaces or continuous line as you want.

Hope this helps,

RE: Linetype

Hi,

Sorry. That code goes on the acad.lin file on your autocad\support directory.

RE: Linetype

jcox,
If you want to e-mail me some particulars, I can write a LISP file that will be able to draw the beam line that you want. I'll need to know:

Layer you want the beam shown on
linetype that the beam layer already has
amount of offset of both ends

try me at: paul_bilodeau1@excite.com

Hope I can help,
