Trouble with line styles

Trouble with line styles

Trouble with line styles

(OP)
Can anyone help out with this one.

  Example what line type should look like --FOC--

  Example of what is happening to the line type __FOC__
 
  The problem is that the text on the line type is
  being placed under or above the line and offset instead
  of being centred in the line.  This happens once the
  line has been modified.  

  We, cant seem to figure out what the solution is, and
  were working in Autocad 2002.

Thanks,
Mark.

RE: Trouble with line styles

Hi Mark,

how is Your code in the *.lin? Which textstyle do You use?

RE: Trouble with line styles

Mark,

It definitely sounds like it is text style related.  When you create the linetype, create a text style that will only be used for that linetype.  Use the express tools to create the line type (by far the easiest way to do it).

In your linetype definition check the value of Y and adjust as necessary
