To invoke the Linetype manager dialog box, you can either: • In the ribbon Home tab, open the linetype pull-down menu and choose 'Other.' • From the Menu, go to Format > Linetype. • In the command line, type LINETYPE or LTYPE In the dalog box, clicking the 'Load.' Button displays the Load or Reload Linetypes dialog box, in which you can load into the drawing selected linetypes from the acad.lin or acadlt.lin file and add them to the linetype list. Tip: the linetypes can be added to the template files so they are always available in new drawings.

Jun 14, 2012 I created some new custom line types using express tool featute in autocad and I saved it with a.lin extension. It is only available in that drawing itself.

Like -----L-I-N-E----- 2.Then How do I load that Custom Line type every time I open a new CAD File Dwg.? Airport city data obb. Mar 27, 2012 we got cad files from an older survey done for a realtor. Everything was in pretty bad shape, with blocks everywhere. Since then the drawings have been cleaned up significantly. But I am having issues with two line types referencing a.shx file we don't have.

The line types will not come out in a purge or manual delete efforts. I tried to do a filter by linetype but it continues to feed back 0 selected. I am wondering if the line types are used in a block definition that isn't drawn anywhere on the screen. Is there a way to determine what linetypes are used in what blocks? Ultimately once the lines that use the two linetypes are located they will be changed to a different one and purged out of the drawing. Mar 6, 2013 I have a few custom linetypes created for the cut and fill daylight boundary on a grading and corridor. I have it set up to put these lines on different layers than the rest of the grading.

I can turn the rest of the grading off and just have my surface created from the grading and these daylight lines on that are linked to the grading. Everything looks good when I go to paperspace to print, except when I actually print the daylight lines do not. They appear in paperspace but not on an actual hard copy. I do not need the grading, I have tried extracting the lines and deleting the grading. This presents another problem. When I extract the lines the come in as a solid line and I cannot get my custom linetype to show despite changing LT scale, etc. How can I make these lines appear in the fashion I want them to.
