Creating a new linetype?

acad 2005 lets you create a "revcloud" from an AutoCAd entity, pline (open or closed), circle, arc or line

 

or closed), circle, arc or line


Cool! I don't have 2005, but 2004 does the same thing (with the <Object>
option in the Revcloud command), with the limitation that it has to be a
CLOSED shape (circle, ellipse, closed polyline or spline). [But you can
break it after you've converted it.]

It even asks whether you want to reverse the direction, in case the bulges
come out facing the wrong way.

So far, the only thing I don't like dealing with is (the same thing with all
linetypes) is fiddling with the lts when switching between model and paper
space. Yeah, I put my rev cloud in model space.

Thanks for the help.

I no longer have 2004, but it does still offer the option to reverse arc direction, as well as length, and gives u the option for a calligraphy type arc or not.
