Hello.
Do you have a library of nonstandard lines (especially urbanic ones) which i can import to Nanocad or do you know how to create it?
I attached a file with a line i need, maybe you got it and you can share it.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards.

Koala.

Hello,

you can load AutoCAD LIN files with line type definitions ore create your own ones.

Use Format - Linetype command to start Linetype Manager.

Then use New or Open button.

If you are creting new linetype - type name, then press Edit button.
For your sample - you should create 2 dashes, 1st - Type= Dash with desired lenght, second - Text or Shape.

Best regards,
Seva

Thx a lot Seva.
I got one more question: how to create a shape file. Is there any possibility to create it in nanocad?
Maybe you know any program (of course free program) in which i can create shape file or new font.

Hello Koala,

I am not sure there are free convertors to SHX. One of shareware can be downloaded from http://www.guthcad.com.au/shx2dxf.htm , it has some limitations in trial mode, but can be useful if you need only few shapes.
In AutoCAD shape file can be created using COMPILE command, but it's also not free program.
Quite a lot of ready shape files can be found in internet for free and you can use also TrueType symbol fonts for linetypes.

Best regards,
Seva
