Lesson: Using Linetypes ■ 325
3.
To apply the loaded linetypes to the selected
layers:
■ On the Home tab, click Layers panel >
Layer Properties.
■ In the Layer Properties Manager dialog
box, find the CENTER layer and click the
linetype field for that layer (currently
Continuous).
■ In the Select Linetype dialog box, click the
CENTER linetype. Click OK.
■ This applies the CENTER linetype to the
CENTER layer.
■ Repeat the steps to apply the HIDDEN
linetype to the HIDDEN layer.
Note: Linetypes may also be loaded from this
dialog box.
■ Click OK to exit the dialog box and close
the Layer Properties Manager.
4.
Notice that the centerlines now appear in the
drawing. To change the linetype scale:
■ On the command line, enter LTSCALE.
Press ENTER.
■ For the scale factor, enter .75. Press ENTER.
Notice the effect that the new linetype scale
has on the centerlines.
5.
To create another centerline, first make the
Center layer current:
■ On the Home tab, click Layers panel >
Make Object's Layer Current.
■ Select any centerline on the drawing. The
current layer should now be the Center
layer.
■ Start the Line command.
■ Use object snap tracking to track a line
from the center object snap above and
below the object as indicated below.
