HELP - custom line type

[R12NV]

Im trying to make a custom line type

------- 20mm GAS ------- 20mm GAS ------- 20mm GAS-------

I have got it this far:

*20mmGAS_LINE,Gas line ----20mm GAS----20mm GAS----20mm GAS----20mm GAS----20mm GAS----20mm GAS--
A,.5,-.2,["20mm GAS",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.25

what area controlls the gap for the text???

 

[TVE]

In order...

A = A variable for which the only possiblity is "A"
.5 = length of first line
-.2 = length of gap before text
S = Text scale
R = Text rotation
X = text offset relative along the line
Y = text offset above or below the line
-.25 = gap after the "gap before text"

So, its the last -.25 that you should be changing. Since you have 8 characters in the text, and are using a 0.1 text scale, the text will take up roughly 0.8. Since there is .2 before the text it should also go after the text. Adding it all up gives 1.0 so you should change the last value from -.25 to -1.0 and see how that goes.
