I came across an old post from 2006 talking about making custom stone wall line types.
Anyone have any idea on how to do this?
Also, I am looking to have a linetype for fences that show the fence posts on one side or the other.
Any ideas on this?
Thanks

Use MKLTYPE Express Tool and generate your linetype directly from a pre-drawn drawing (you can use PLINEs, SHAPEs...). For shapes you can use a similar tool - MKSHAPE.

If you're lost when you look at these, you need to read the help files on how to create custom linetypes.

Define your .lin file using the following commands. Your fence line will be similar to my guardrail:

*GUARD_L, Guardrail, posts on left
A,0,[CIRCLE,McClure,s=.0175,r=90],.305663,CIRCLE,McClure,s=.0175,r=90]

*GUARD_R, Guardrail, posts on right
A,0,[CIRCLE,McClure,s=.0175,r=270],.305663,CIRCLE,McClure,s=.0175,r=270]

*STONEWALL, Stone Wall
A,0,-.0625,[STONE,McClure,s=1],-.06303

"STONE" is the name of the custom shape that I created using the MKSHAPE routine, and in my case "McClure" is the location where that shape is defined. You need to have the .shx file loaded in order for these definitions to work (type in LOAD at the command prompt). Save the .lin, .shp, & .shx files in your AutoCAD support folder located on your C:\ drive and it will make your life easier.

I can send you my custom files if you want, pm me your e-mail address.

Stone walls are a kind of masonry construction which have been made for thousands of years. First they were constructed by farmers and primitive people by piling loose field stones in what is called a dry stone wall, then later with the use of mortar and plaster especially in the construction of city walls, castles, and other fortifications prior to and during the Middle Ages.
