An object's LINETYPE can be changed in three different ways: If an object's linetype is set to BYLAYER, move it to another layer with a different linetype, the object will acquire the linetype of new layer. Choose another linetype for... Read More

The current LINETYPE is shown in the Linetype control on the Properties toolbar and all objects you draw will use the current linetype. You can also set the current linetype with the Linetype control. If you set current linetype to BYLAYER, all... Read More

You can load LINETYPE at the start of a project or when you need them. Linetypes are stored in an LIN (linetype definition) file, you can load linetypes in a LIN file whenever you want use it. Depending on what measurements you are using, you can... Read More
