Hello,
I have some couple of question below regarding the custom linestyle in microstation connect.
I created a custom linestyle to be 1m dashed and 1m gap. I used points to create the dashed segment so that the length is always fixed. However, when I tried it, the lines appeared to be hollow even the "fill attribute" is on.
1) how to display custom linestyle to have fill/solid?
2) is it possible to set custom linestyle to follow the bends/arcs
thank you.
It sounds as if you created a "dash" point component instead of an actual dash.
You can create your dash to a known size, and you can assign it a width so that it will be filled in.
The setting you want for the corners is "Break". This "bends" the linestyle around corners

Thanks MaryB, however what I want is to display only the segment with exact length and hide those less than the specified length that's why I came up with point components.
use the shift pattern line style tool to hid the portion less than 1 m.
What length and width is the dashed line and what length are the gaps... I may have a local DOT road line marking linestyle that does what you want

ok I found a line that's close at scale 1 by default its 100 wide fill, 600 long and 600 gaps but if you use 1 divided by 0.6 as a LT scale over ride and put on specific level it draws as 167 wide, 1000 , 1000 and works with arcs and corners etc.. its name is turn line broken, but you can rename it.. I used the linestyle to draw it in empty file then used the
Element>Linestyle >edit>export to dgn
you can then do the same with export/import to rsc and add it to rsc folder... you should be able to rename it there... but again you have to scale it to use it or maybe add it to a dgn lib already scaled and if you use it leave level preset…that's my personal preference
...lines.dgn
