CAD Software Forum

This is a follow up to a message I posted in August 2003 regarding creating complex linetypes. This is my first opportunity to try the suggestions SSC gave me. I created a custom.lin file and typed:
*SEWER,S
A,.5,-.5,["S",STANDARD,S=0,R=0,X=0,Y=-.1],-1
I ended up with a dashed line w/ one dot. No "S". The directions in the help index are less than helpful, however, I feel like I am close. Can anyone tell me if I am STILL doing something wrong?
Thanks

rkelshaw,

What version of Icad are you using? I am using Icad PE 4.0 and the linetype works fine. Please post the text of the lin file.

I believe in some earlier versions of ICAD what font was chosen for the style effected whether the complex linetype showed up or not.

SSC,
I am also using Icad PE 4.0 on Windows XP Pro. Here is the lin copied from the lin folder. I have used various fonts with no change.

*SEWER,S
A,.5,-.5,("S",ARIAL,S=0,R=0,X=0,Y=-.1),-1

Thanks Again.

rkelshaw,

I noticed in your reply that you have parenthesis () instead of brackets [] around the line definition. I believe you need to use brackets, try that, otherwise I am not sure at this point.

That worked!
Thank you
