Microstation custom linestyle vs autocad linestyles

Hi

Is someone updated what Autocad can handle nowdays regarding Microstation custom linestyles. We have custom linestyles in microstation that we hope would also work in Autocad, these custom linestyles are created with offset in microstation, is there a way to use the same kind of offset linestyles in autocad?

Example offset custom linestyle in microstation:

  • AutoCAD can't and will not support offset linestyles, there is nothing Bentley or Autodesk can help. Remember that linestyles in AutoCAD are relict from pen plotters so only simple linestyles are possible which ar drawn in a one go. Why Autodesk is constantly changing DWG format without implementing new features as backwards compatibility is broken anyway is beyound me but at least it helps to sell Bentley.


    Only way to have offsets(without drop) is either to use multilines(no support in older ACAD LT) or use them as repeating symbols(corners will be ugly).
