New to microstation *
I'm trying to create a linetype that looks like this:
.... .... .... ....
I'm not having any luck by going to element -> linestyles , and trying to create in there. Any advice on this situation?
Thanks
Create a file in notepad with a .lin extension. Then import via Line Style Edit> file import
Should be something like this.
*MyLine, MyLine .... .... ....
A,0.01,-0.01,0.01,-0.01,0.01,-0.01,0.01,-0.08
Search Autocads online help for more details on line types.
If you are referring to creating a custom linestyle in a MicroStation ilnestyle resource file please refer to the two following links:
communities.bentley.com/.../10407.creating-a-custom-linestyle.aspx
and

All feedback is appreciated, not just limited to George.
Try setting the global linestyle scale setting for the reference attachment to "Reference". This is based on linestyle scale scale in the reference file, by default the reference file will use the master file linestyle scale. The linestyle scale in the reference file should be set to a value already that allows your linestyle to display as you desire before attaching the reference.

thats ok for a one of element in a one off dgn but it needs to become a linestyle so all users and all drgs can share it for any job...

Bentley does a lot of great stuff on the programming side but the one thing they never seem to understand is "simple".
totally agree with you I have had to use it and its bring out the notes from 1995 classes and for something simple its the same effort as something complex..
it is interface since IDGS pre microstation from intergraph and Bentley have not changed or improved it again I say we need two interface tools for line style one easy like creating a cell and it saves it to an RSC line style file the other can stay the same horrible complex drag out the manuals ... as gearge said its easy if you do it often I can use it but I hate it... as it always take me 2 or 3 attempts to get it right... and the help file is rubbish for this.. the old V5 manual is still the best dfor this but so many steps and so many features .. very good for very complex stuff and you can learn it but I forget how by the time 2 or 3 years have gone by when we need a new one... standards dont change alot very often...
We are a little off track.
I will agree that the interface in not easily understood and could be redone but the flexibility is there and I would not like to give any of it up just for an update.
