Should have started here to figure out the linetype thing. THANK YOU!

Thanks a lot man, I ve been struggling with this the whole day

MKLTYPE is an unknown command in 2019LT 2020LT and 2021LT How can the "-LINETYPE" command be used to create a linetype with text? I have tried to use the directions in Autodesk Help to no avail.

Thanks so much mate. Saved so many hours of mine

Is there a way to generate a linetype so that when its drawn from point A to B the text/ or pattern would fall in the center, rather than repeated pattern throughout. Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

Kindly teach about autolisp? It's really helping us

I have also 2019 AUTOCAD and it don´t want to take text, only lines. And when i want create arch between lines, it takes only lines. Where is the problem ? Is something bad setted ?

very informatic

After creating a shape. When typing 'shape' for the command and entering the name I game it, it says invalid not found.

Thank you so much. Your video is very helpful for me.

4:59 does not work. It filters out text and don't want to select it. created line types contain no symbol. AutoCAD 2019

helpful.. nice.. great... #CivilEngineering.... Keep it up...

when I try to create the line type, upon pressing enter after selecting the objects and naming them, it says it fails. "Comma expected after text string," can you explain why this is?

thank you, very helpful

I've followed the steps and created a rectangle pattern line type, however whenever change it and use said line type, it comes out all wrong including the scale (comes out too big).

Why does arrow symbols change to question marks "?" symbol when I explode?

Thanks 😊

I can't able to create a line type which I required. It's saying that it's a continuous line type. ---//--- this is the line type I needed. Help me

Useful, thanks a lot.

Thanks, it works

Many thanks for this video. Does anyone know, at the circle (or curves) the linetype breaks (is not continuous) does anyone now how to solve that?

Thanks!

Dear community, wishing all the best. Does anyone know the solution to the following problem or have arrived at the same problem? When I try to make a simple arrow linetype with a triangle text symbol and a line the triangle or the arrowhead in the linetype is above the line. Thank you in advance for any help.

Thank you Sir

Thank you sir For this video

Hello everybody. Thank you for the video. Question. Does AutoCAD2019 have a part deployment feature? For example, a bracket from 3mm sheet metal, I want to deploy in one plane. thanks

In AutoCAD 2020 LT. It appears that the MKLINETYPE cmd is not available. Is this the case?

thanks

Super sir.. more usefull.. tnq

when i select objects, which are all symbols autocad says 0 object selected.

thanks..but doesn´t work :( The line is always created and loaded, but anytime I want to use the line, it appears continuous!!! ....sad :/

The arrow symbols change to question marks when making Single line !!!

Good vedio

Ευχαριστούμε!

I tried this and the text became 7x larger for no reason. Then I tried exploding the text to polylines AND lines and it straight up wouldn't recognize the lines that were once text!

how can we do this in AutoCAD for Mac ?

Sir How to change setting of autoCAD 2007 from 3d model to 2d classic drawing

In 2020 if you use the symbols chart for the symbols, when you explode it you lose the symbol

I am getting an error. It's saying that Invalid, that's the continues line type! What's the reason
