Undocumented alignment code for linetype generation.

A - answer If you encounter problems with the method (alignment) of linetype generation (dashed segments in corners, dashes in dotted line, etc.) you can try to use an undocumented alignment code in the linetype definition (.LIN file) - instead of "A" use "S". E.g.:
