Q: I am an AutoCAD user, but I have trouble to create a complex linetype. Is it possible to make a flow line that looks like ----->------>--------> something like what I'm showing?
- M. K. K-R.
A: Yes, it is possible. Here is the steps:
1. Open the acad.lin file in Notepad.
2. Scroll down to
3. Take some existing code, and make a copy of its, such as:
*FENCELINE1,Fenceline circle ----0-----0----0-----0----0-----0--
A,.25,-.1,[CIRC1,ltypeshp.shx,x=-.1,s=.1],-.1,1
4. Figure out the code for the > symbol, and stick it in the copied code, as shown below:
*ARROWFLOW,Flowline Direction ---->----->---->----->---->----->--
A,.25,-.1,[">",STANDARD,x=-.1,s=.1],-.1,1
You're going to have to play with the parameters a bit, to make the arrowhead centered in the line. Check out my tutorial on creating complex linetypes at:
