When I try to create a new linetype with express in 2024.....standard text will work However when I try to make a linetype using a symbol or subscript the text does not show in the drawing...the line and spacing is there. uploads/118036/Drawing1.dwg" rel="nofollow - uploads/118036/Drawing1.dwg

Try the LTFly utility (see Download) for better creation of text-based linetypes. You will need to specify the superscript as a unicode character (\\U+nnnn). ------------- Vladimir Michl (moderator) ARKANCE - https://arkance.world" rel="nofollow - https://arkance.world - Autodesk Platinum Partner |

MKLTYPE doesn't accept Mtext [even without internal formatting such as for a subscript], which you could have known from its Express Tools Help description. You can make the O and the 2 separate Text objects [just Explode your Mtext with the subscript], and MKLTYPE can handle their different sizes and vertical positions. Using the components in the upper part of this image [I Exploded the Mtext], it made the linetype of the lower part.  |
