Hi all,

Autocad 2019 user here.

Looking for a custom linetype for Autocad. Require a broken line, almost like a rubble wall outline.

Image, please.  It sounds like something that will require Shape inclusions.

That would definitely need to be done with Shape inclusions, but I don't think you'd like the way it would work at bends, straight walls that are not just the right length, curves, etc.  It's just not in the nature of custom linetypes to work well in that kind of situation.  See the image at >this post<.

And if you want both the upper and lower edges in one linetype, you would need a repetition in the lower edge [I don't see any] at the same interval as the apparent repetition in the upper edge.

For the lower edge independent of the upper edge, you can try the WPL command in WobblyPline.lsp, >here<.  But it doesn't use a custom linetype -- it just makes a Polyline that wobbles randomly relative to the defined path.

Hi, 

Sorry, I am unable to view or download either of those links in your post. But in principle I think that's correct, even if there's a polyline that wobbles randomly relative to a predefined path, that would work for me. 

I think I came across another post on the Autodesk community forum (https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visual-lisp-autolisp-and-general/draw-a-quot-fuzzy-quot-line/td-p/2340241) where you posted a similar solution? 

I would still like to try the WPL command in the WobblyPline.lsp but can't access the file so far.

Thanks for your help.

uploads/353260/WobblyPLine.lsp

And here's a portion of the image from the other link, where the shape is a sort-of straight thing that doesn't behave well on curves, and its length doesn't always fit lengths of Lines or Polyline segments:

Yes, the last offering there is the same routine, but the one I uploaded here (link in my previous reply) is a slightly newer version (I don't recall what was changed).
