How to Create Complex Linetypes:

• *MAP is the name of the linetype
• ---MAP--- is the description of the linetype
• A is A-type alignment (see help for details)
• 1.0 is the length of the dash
• - indicates a space
• 0.5 is the amount of space before text
• brackets ([ ]) enclose string, style name, and transform
• "Map" is the text string
• mcstyle is the text style
• S is the text height for this case, or scale of height set in text style
• R is the rotate, set to zero relative rotation
• X is the xoffset, set to no offset
• Y is the yoffset, set to .5
• 3.0 is the distance between dashes (the area where the text resides)

Printing with Linetype Styles:

To customize the way linetypes are printed:
Make a copy of the CTB file you usually use.
Save it under a new name in an accessible location.
Use colors to determine the line thicknesses.
Use lineweights to determine the thicknesses of polylines for construction drawings because the lines will look better when you zoom in.
