(OP)
I recently made a custom line type, but i have found that the text in it does'nt curve that well.
*63MM_GAS_LINE,63Gas LINE ----63MM GAS LINE----63MM GAS LINE----63MM GAS LINE----
A,.5,-.2,["63MM GAS",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-1.2
It works fine with straight lines and large radi curves but the text kicks out straight in the tighter curves. Is there anyway to fix the problem???
cheers,

RE: I recently made a custom line type,
If you use polylines then setting plinegen may also help.
RE: I recently made a custom line type,
Piece of cake,
Change the code as follow. I would like to remind you it is better to insert the text definition part in seperate lines because the permitted expression length in text file is limitted.
*63MM_GAS_LINE,63Gas LINE ----63MM GAS LINE----63MM GAS LINE----63MM GAS LINE----
A,.5,-.2,
["6",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.1,
["3",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.1,
["M",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.1,
["M",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.3,
["G",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.1,
["A",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.1,
["S",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.2
Load the above linetype and everything will be OK.
