Autocad Civil 3d Line Types In R

Hi Folks, Our office has a mystery involving a linetype, specifically a treeline type. I've attached a screenshot of the issue. What you'll see there is a polyline that is displaying as dots that should be displaying as a series of half circles. Microsoft Removal Tool Kb890830.

In Excel we can access the data in a worksheet by using Sheet1.Cells(Row, Column). We can loop through Sheet1.Cells and take action in AutoCAD® based on the content.

The desired linetype is also in the screenshot, displaying correctly, which is coming from an xref drawing. When working in the xref drawing, the linetype works as expected.

When working in the active drawing, the linetype appears as dots. We have purged the problem linetype and then brought it back in with the same results.

We've also copied the linetype from the xref drawing into the current drawing. Same results. In my research, I'm suspicious that the shapes that are used to create this linetype are somehow wacky or improperly defined in the current drawing.

So, when AutoCAD attempts to display the half-circle shapes, they don't appear. I'm pretty fuzzy on how to verify this theory or correct the problem, if that is the issue. Any insight or suggestions would be most welcome! These Linetype display issues can be tough without seeing all related files and options settings. If you draw a new line in the layout drawing using this tree linetype does it display correctly? Bruce Born In The Usa Rare.

If a scaling issue, there could also be an object level Linetype Scale override applied which can be checked in properties palette. A 3d Polyline of differing Z values could also cause to display incorrectly.

To see the available custom linetype shapes available try SHAPE @ command line >? >Enter >Enter shape name(s) to list: >Enter. All available Ltype shapes in the drawing are listed here (including the path where found) unless a standard Acad support location. Ie: Ltypeshp.shx may not have a path as it comes with Autocad. Any file path's listed here should also appear in Options >Files tab >Support File Search Path. Assuming your using the same Acad profile the available shapes should be the same list in dwg & in xref.
