LINETYPE
There are many different linetypes to be used in drawings. Linetypes are defined in linetype files. You can define linetypes yourself by editing the linetype files, or by creating new linetype files. The default linetype file Cads.ltyincludes three versions of each linetype: short, normal and long. These three versions vary only by their length. Linetypes are printed just as they appear on the screen.
cads.lty-viivatyyppitiedostossa (oletus) jokaisesta viivatyypistä löytyy kolme erilaista versiota: ns. normaali, lyhyt ja pitkä. Erot näkyvät toistuvan kuvion pituudessa. Viivatyypit tulostuvat täsmälleen samanlaisina kuin ne näkyvät kuvaruudulla.
By default, the linetypes CONTINUOUS, SYMBOL and LAYER are loaded in drawings:
-
SYMBOL can be used to connect element's linetype to a symbol. The SYMBOL linetype can be used when creating a symbol. If you draw i.e. lines using linetype DASHED and save them to a symbol, those lines are always shown in linetype DASHED. If those lines are drawn using line type SYMBOL the lines are shown in the same linetype that the inserted symbol has.
-
LAYER can be used to connect element's linetype to a layer. When using the linetype LAYER the object gets its line type from the layer it is on. If the linetype of the layer is changed also the object's linetype is changed.
-
CONTINUOUS is always defined and it cannot be deleted or renamed.
When using a linetype for the first time, it will be loaded into the drawing. After loading, it will remain in the drawing.
