Creating Custom Linetype

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

  • Most Programmers can handle simple tasks.

    Good Programmers can handle complex tasks

    Great Programmers make complex tasks simple.

  • 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.

    Its just the interface to build them is sooooo bad.  ...... <snip>.

    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...

    You can do this now.

    Draw a line and place the pattern along the line using the "Linear Pattern" tool

    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...

    and exportable for wally cad users
