This site is very frustrating. Waited forever to upload a file but finally gave up. Why must it be so difficult?
Anyway, I copied and pasted the contents of the file below. It is the linetype definition for Line_&_Text_2. Is this what you were looking for Hebi? I could not use your dwg file because the MKLTYPE would not work in it. I don't understand why that is. I opened a new drawing, using AutoCAD 2012, and got it to work though.
*LINE_AND_TEXT_2,Line with text
A,31.218708,-12.167325,["TXT > TXT",Standard,y=-5,s=10,u=0],-117.167325

"My results are already zero..."
You were unable to make either custom linetype using the MKSHAPE and MKLTYPE commands?

Hello!
Thanks for your answer.
I uploaded 2 new linetype to MECHANICAL\ OTHERS...
http://www.cadforum.cz/catalog_en/?cat=31&page=3
Their name is Line & txt1 and Line & txt2...
My results are already zero...without reference to line name, description or the contents of the line.
The first line was just a try-out,
I wanted to try their commands (MKLTYPE and MKSHAPE),
because I make an educational video about AUTOCAD,
and I want to present all way of making linetype...
I can make any linetype in .lin file, but this is useasy...
and I'd like to try this mode too...
I hope, you will understand my english, I am out of practice a bit...
Thanks for your help, Hebi

I can try it in AutoCAD 2007 but not until I return to work on Monday.
What was the line supposed to represent?
Was there any text included?
I do not think it has anything to do with a SETVAR setting.
I could recreate the linetype for you if you give me the information you want me to use when it comes to naming it and the description. Then I could email the necessary files to you.

I tried your drawing file and it failed for me too. So I started a new drawing and reproduced the five lines exactly as they are shown (length and spacing) in your drawing. This time it worked. I don't know what the problem with your drawing file is but I suggest you try again and use a new drawing when you do so.
