As with simple linetypes, complex lines are dynamically drawn as the user specifies vertices. Shapes and text objects embedded in lines are always displayed completely; they are never trimmed. Cfa Level 2 Quicksheet Pdf To Jpg. Linetype pattern descriptors that include shape objects is similar to that for simple linetypes. The syntax for shape object descriptors in a linetype description is as follows: [ shape_name, shape_filename] or [ shape_name, shape_filename, transform] where transform is optional and can be any series of the following (each preceded by a comma): R=## Relative rotation A=## Absolute rotation U=## Upright rotation S=## Scale X=## X offset Y=## Y offset In this syntax, ## is a signed decimal number (1, -17, 0.01, and so on), the rotation is in degrees, and the remaining options are in linetype-scaled drawing units. The preceding transform letters, if they are used, must be followed by an equal sign and a number. The following linetype definition defines a linetype named CON1LINE that is composed of a repeating pattern of a line segment, a space, and the embedded shape CON1 from the ep.shx file. (Note that the ep.shx file must be in the support path for the following example to work properly.) *CON1LINE, --- [CON1] --- [CON1] --- [CON1] A,1.0,-0.25,[CON1,ep.shx],-1.0 Except for the code enclosed in square brackets, everything is consistent with the definition of a simple linetype.

As previously described, a total of six fields can be used to define a shape as part of a linetype. The first two are mandatory and position-dependent; the next four are optional and can be ordered arbitrarily. The following two examples demonstrate various entries in the shape definition field.
