Building hatch linetype

Is anyone aware of a linetype file (.lin) which contains a building hatch linetype? That is, a linetype which comprises a continuous line with tick segments coming off it at 45 degrees. Until now, I had to create a hatched area offset to the building line. Any response would be appreciated.

 

I don't know of one, but it would be easy enough to make one that uses a
shape definition for the ticks. Check out AutoCAD's TRACKS linetype, and do
something similar. But I would worry that it won't look the way you want at
the corners of building outlines. I would guess you'll get ticks that
extend outside the building outline, and that overlap.

Try this one and see if it's what you are looking for. Of course all of
that can be tweaked for your particular preference.

This what I use

*BLDGLINE,_____/_____/_____/_____
A,.1,-0.0,["x",STANDARD,S=.1,R=0.0,X=0.0,Y=0.0],-.00001

I would watch out for a style "STANDARD" in my definitions and use something
just for custom linetypes. Reason is that you don't know necessarily how
"STANDARD" is defined, whether with a fixed height or 0, or with what style.
IMHO it is much easier to define a style just for linetypes.

 

Thanks for the advice Warren
