Question
A
If you want to create a new custom linetype, you can use the manual way and edit the respective .LIN file using a text editor - e.g. NOTEPAD (following instructions in the AutoCAD Customization Guide).
A more convenient way is to make use of the MKLTYPE Express Tool and generate your linetype directly from a pre-drawn drawing (you can use PLINEs, SHAPEs...). For shapes you can use a similar tool - MKSHAPE.
Express Tools are included in AutoCAD 2004 and higher.
You can also download existing additional linetypes from Download.
