Next is a Negative Number and this indicates the distance/space between the Points. Because in our example we are using 0, that gets represented as a Point. I have to be honest here, in my many years of using DraftSight and other CAD packages, it has always been A, I don’t know why, I never questioned it. The second line is a little more complicated! It starts with A, which is the Alignment Type. The first line consists of the LineStyle Name, LineStyle Description and an Example of the LineStyle. Basically, a LineStyle consists of 2 lines of text. That’s just a note to anyone who opens the LineStyle file later on and tells them what we have done.īefore we go any further, let me explain just what a LineStyle is. These LineStyles are Custom LineStyles created in-house. We’re going to scroll to the end of the file and enter the following text: So, the first step is to open mm.lin in Notepad. I’m going to edit mm.lin as I use the metric system. The default DraftSight LineStyles can be found in C:\Program Files\Dassault Systemes\DraftSight\Default Files\Linestyles and if you browse to that directory, you’ll see inch.lin (for imperial drawings) and mm.lin (for metric drawings). All you need is Notepad and a small bit of knowledge. Well, in today’s blog, we are going to show you how to create your own LineStyle and how to load it in to DraftSight. Perhaps it’s to highlight a service or a boundary and you just need to make it stand out. Sometimes, when creating a drawing, you need a LineStyle that is different to anything you have installed.
