Simple text based linetypes for fences just append the following to your default.lin file: (the square posts will actually be rectangular) In the config settings window see Drawing | Drafting | Drawing Units | Measurement. These files are plain text and can be edited with any text editor (not word processor).īricscad will use one or the other depending on the value of the MEASUREMENT system variable. (Vista I know nothing about and USERNAME should be your username).įile default.lin consists of linetypes sized for imperial drawings while iso.lin is for metric drawings. Actually, the first file found in the support search path is the one used but the above are the default locations. Where on my WinXP machine %APPDATA% means C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\. %APPDATA%\Bricsys\Bricscad\V10\en_US\support\iso.lin %APPDATA%\Bricsys\Bricscad\V10\en_US\support\default.lin and Ok, here's a quickie for linetypes (as I understand them). They appear to be translated from inches to metric and yet they are not in the iso-file. Of course there is also something strange with the dimensions used in the linetype definition above. If you don't want to use the STANDARD textstyle you can substitute its name with that of your own style. The rest is the same as with imperial drawings.
If you are working with iso drawings (measurement is set to 1) you first have to copy the definition into the correct iso-file (there can be more of those on your system, so be sure to check the BC searchpath). To use this linetype with imperial drawings (measurement is set to 0) all you need to do is create a textstyle named "STANDARD" (is already present in the default templates), load the linetype and you are good to go. As Greg points out: the definition from the Acad-file uses a shape-file to accomplish this. To create the circles the definition uses the letter O in the standard textstyle.
This is the linetype definition (taken from ICAD.LIN): So there are quite a few linetypes missing from the iso-file.
The iso-file (ICADISO.LIN for BC7 iso.lin for BC10) is much shorter than the default-file (ICAD.LIN for BC7 default.lin for BC10). There is something strange with the lin-files supplied with Bricscad.
