This will open Load/Unload Applications window, locate the file location from Look In dropdown menu select LinOut.vlx file and click on load button. Once you have that file type APPLOAD on the command line and press enter. If you have a drawing containing completely new linetype and you don’t have its linetype file then there is a VLX file courtesy of that can make exporting linetype from your drawing a seamless task.ĭownload the LinOut.vlx here, File courtesy of Exporting custom linetype from the drawing: When you transfer your drawing containing this custom linetype then also make sure to transfer linetype and shape file created in examples above with it. If you find that scale of this line type is not appropriate then you can change its scale by changing LTSCALE system variable to appropriate value or by changing the scale of individual objects from properties palette. You can now apply this linetype to geometries in your drawing. Topic/Function Area Linetype file (*.The linetype is now created with name TESTLT and it will also be loaded in the drawing. The following linetype files are included in landscape. All other parameters same as that of the selected line. Pick the line you want to copy and give a new label.ĭuplicate of the selected line will be draw with the linetype selected in the dialog box 'Linetype'. The selected line's linetype will be replaced with the one selected in the dialog box 'Linetype'.Ĭopy/Draw: If the option 'Copy/Draw' is selected, command prompts for: Then the active linetype in the drawing will be set to BYLAYER and PLINGEN is set to 0.Ĭhange: If option 'Change' is selected, command prompts for: Note: You can click on the dialog for Reset linetype and PLINEGEN after you have finished drawing. The command prompts for:Ĭurrent line-width is 0.000 Arc/Close/Halfwidth/Length/Undo/Width/: Select the desired linetype and then the desired option.ĭraw: The dialog box 'Linetype' will pop up and simultaneously AutoCAD's Polyline function runs. There is also room for a descriptive text for the linetype, and this is the same as the description added after the comma behind the linetype name in the definition. List of linetypes: If the linetypes have been defined correctly by the AutoCAD's linetype definition, the linetype will be displayed in the list. The slide name needs to be the same as the linetype. Preview: You can create slide (AutoCAD's command MSLIDE) of your linetypes and put them in NP_LIN.SLB that are located in the Point5 directory to get a preview of the linetype. The programs will automatically find these, and you can bring them up by this function. If you have saved your own linetypes in separate linetype files (*.LIN) you need to put them in the directory where Point5 is installed (standard is \Point5). This is done so that lines defined by pattern located on one particular side of the line will be evenly distributed along the line and appear on the correct side if the line contains curves. If you draw lines with this function the System Variable PLINEGEN is automatically set to 1. The individual linetypes (linetypes for Planting Design, Terrain Design, Terrain Section, Wall, WS, El/Tele, Street Furniture and Layout) will be loaded into the drawing when the respective Draw/Edit function is activated. Select all the objects, linetype of which is to be changed to that of the source object. Select the source object (the linetype of which is to be applied to other objects). Use this button to change the linetype of selected objects/entities to match that of an existing object's/entity's.
