Linetype Definition Error

Any clue why I get the error

Bad Definition of Slab_Rebar2 at line xxx of file ...\acad.lin

when I try to load this linetype? The linetype Slab_Rebar loads just fine.
The only difference is the name of the shape definition DCIRC instead of
CIRC1 in the shape file. When I load the shape file, the shapes both appear
properly.

From ltypeshp.shp:

*133,4,CIRC1
10,1,-040,0

*135,8,DCIRC
10,(1,-040),018,10,(2,-040),0

From acad.lin:

*Slab_Rebar,Slab - Rebar
A,0.5,[CIRC1,ltypeshp.shx,y=-0.015,S=0.015],0.001

*Slab_Rebar2,Slab - Rebar
A,0.5,[DCIRC,ltypeshp.shx,y=-0.015,S=0.015],0.001

 

Is Slab_Rebar2 the last definition in your *.lin file, and if so, is there
at least one blank line at the end of your *.lin file?

It was the last entry, but there were blank and comment lines after it.
I moved it up in the file and still get the error.

 

You apparently added DCIRC to ltypeshp.shp; did you COMPILE it afterwards? I
did, and it works fine for me.

Yes, I did. You have to compile in order to display the shapes.
"When I load the shape file, the shapes both appear properly."

Did you successfully load the linetype or just the shapes?

 

Both. And both of your linetypes work just fine with no errors reported.

However, without the compiled *.shx file, I got the same error you reported.
Just speculating here, but the problem could perhaps be that you have more
than one copy of ltypeshp.shx on your system and acad.lin is finding the
wrong one.

Yep, that was it!
Thanks.
