To Include Text in Custom Linetypes

  1. Create a simple linetype, as described in To Add a Simple Linetype to a LIN File.
  2. Add the text character descriptor within the linetype pattern, using the following format:
    ["text",text_style_name,scale,rotation,xoffset,yoffset]

    For example,

    A,.5,-.2,["HW",STANDARD,S=.1,U=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.2
