You're looking for a linetype definition file that will draw a chain? I know there are a couple of lisp routines that will draw a chain but I don't know of a chain linetype. It might be possible to create one using two routines found in Express Tools called MKLTYPE and MKSHAPE. Get it a try.

This sounds like an interesting annotative dynamic block project for you at some point.
