Custom Line style

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.

  • 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
