I need to make a custom line type using a 36" o.d. and a 15" i.d. donut. or a filled circle.I have been trying to first make a shape with the  donut and this does not seem to work.Also tried to use two circles and a fill, still does not work.Any ideas?ThanksWayne

How about two circles and an exploded (dense) hatch pattern?

Tried that. Did not work.Next?

Can't believe this is that hard to make happen. It will work if the area is not filled.

Almost there but not quite.  Yeah, the hatch pattern isn't dense as this was just a test.  The problem to solve is getting rid of the spurious little line segments circled in red.  I called mine DonutHoleLT.lin.  The magenta color donut at the top is the shape file.

[QUOTE=John Connor]....  The problem to solve is getting rid of the spurious little line segments circled in red.  ....

[/QUOTE]I'm afraid that's not a problem that can be solved, it being the nature of anything open-ended drawn with any non-continuous linetype to "fill out the ends," beyond full cycles of the linetype definition, with continuous extensions [in closed objects, it can make adjustments].  You can minimize them by adjusting the length of an object [when that's not made impractical or impossible by other considerations], but you can't get rid of them entirely.

How critical is the relationship between the 36" vs. 15" dimensions?  Could you use an embedded-Text linetype instead of an embedded-Shape one?  For example, the 0xA3 character in the Wingdings font looks pretty much just like that (when I make one 36 units wide outside, its inside diameter is about 14-1/2 units), and it's truly solid-filled, so you don't need to fake that part.Kent Cooper2018-03-20 19:24:13

Good suggestion Kent.

I only has to be close, give or take a couple of inches.

Then follow Kent's suggestion.

Except I can not find Wingdings oxa3 font. I found one that is solid bit I need a hole in the middle.May be I am stupid to night.Wayne

Kent said "the 0xA3 character in the Wingdings font."  It's definitely there as I was able to find it quite easily.  It can be found in the 7th row from the top and the 11th symbol in from the left.

.... the 0xA3 character in the Wingdings font looks pretty much just like that ....[/QUOTE]For some reason I couldn't get it to work using typical Unicode "\U+0xA3" format as a text element in a linetype definition, as I had hoped, but that turns out to be the British Pound sign in most fonts.  I see that waynelem didn't say whether the rings alone are what's wanted as John's image shows.  The following worked pretty well for me, to make one with line segments between the rings but not across them, but that can be changed.  It requires that you have a Text Style defined in the drawing that is called WINGDINGS and uses the WINGDINGS font.  At a linetype scale of 1, the rings are 1 unit in outside diameter, and the spacing is 4 units C-C.  [For your 36" ring size, use it at a linetype scale of 36; the C-C spacing will be 144.]  It's pretty precise, but you can fine-tune those decimals if you want it even more so.  For a different spacing, divide the desired C-C spacing [when the rings are 1 unit in diameter] in half, subtract 0.5, and use the result in place of the 1.5 entries at the ends. *WHATEVER,whatchamacallit ----o-----o-----o----A,1.5,-.5,["£",WINGDINGS,x=-.616,y=-.4987,s=1.083],-.5,1.5
