Loading and scaling custom AutoCAD linetypes

Load a LIN file, apply its definition to a layer and diagnose a dashed line that appears continuous.

Load the definition

Extract the ZIP into a project folder. Enter LINETYPE, choose Load, then File, and browse to a .lin file. Select the named definition and confirm. Loading adds it to the drawing’s available linetypes.

Apply it to a test line

Assign the loaded style to a layer in Layer Properties. Draw a line on that layer with its object linetype set to ByLayer. Start with a line long enough to show several complete repeats.

Check the plotted result

If the pattern looks solid, check the line length, object linetype scale and drawing-wide LTSCALE. Change one setting at a time and run REGEN. Compare a layout plot preview against your legend before applying the style throughout a drawing.
