REVERSE
Reverses the vertices of selected lines, polylines, splines, and helixes, which
is useful for linetypes with included text, or wide polylines with differing
beginning and ending widths.
Load Linetypes
At the start of a project, you load the linetypes that are required for the project
so that they are available when you need them.
If you want to know what linetypes are already available, you can display a
list of linetypes that are loaded in the drawing or stored in an LIN (linetype
definition) file.
This program includes the linetype definition files acadlt.lin and acadltiso.lin.
Which linetype file is appropriate depends on whether you use imperial or
metric measurements.
■ For imperial units, use the acadlt.lin file.
■ For metric measurements, use the acadltiso.lin file.
Both linetype definition files contain several complex linetypes.
If you select a linetype whose name begins with ACAD_ISO, you can use the
ISO pen-width option when you plot.
You can remove unreferenced linetype information with PURGE or by deleting
the linetype from the Linetype Manager. BYBLOCK, BYLAYER, and
CONTINUOUS linetypes cannot be removed.
To load a linetype
1 Click Home tab ➤ Properties panel ➤ Linetype.
2 In the Linetype drop-down list, click Other. Then, in the Linetype
Manager dialog box, click Load.
3 In the Load or Reload Linetypes dialog box, select a linetype. Click OK.
If the linetype you need is not listed, click File. In the Select Linetype File
dialog box, select an LIN file whose linetypes you want to list and click.
The dialog box displays the linetype definitions stored in the selected
LIN file. Select a linetype. Click OK.
