Linetype

[jcox]

I am trying to draw a line that is broken at the end and the beginning. I would like the line to be continuous in between. I am trying to represent beams in a floor plan the frame between other members. I know that I could just shorten the lines, but it would be nice if I could use set the work points of the line where I really want the member to be represented.

Hi,

Why don't you try this linetype definition on your .PAT file?

*xCont, Continuous line within spaces
A,0,-.1,10,-.1

You can change the dimensions of spaces or continuous line as you want.

Hope this helps,

Hi,

Sorry. That code goes on the acad.lin file on your autocad\support directory.

jcox,
If you want to e-mail me some particulars, I can write a LISP file that will be able to draw the beam line that you want. I'll need to know:

Layer you want the beam shown on
linetype that the beam layer already has
amount of offset of both ends

try me at: paul_bilodeau1@excite.com

Hope I can help,
