Change Polyline Linetype

This command changes the linetype of polylines or lines to the linetype selected from the dialog. True AutoCAD linetypes are created and applied to the selected entities, compared to other commands, such as Polyline to Special Line and Special Line/Entity, which break the polyline into segments. The spacing between linetype symbols and the symbols size are controlled by the Line Type Spacing and Symbol Size Scaler settings in the dialog. The Gap Size Scaler controls the size of the break in the line for the linetypes that have a break like UserDef and Arrow_B. To select a linetype from the dialog, pick on the linetype image. Use the Next button to see more linetypes. At the end of the list of linetypes, there are two special choices. The UserDef choice lets you enter your own text string into a linetype, and the Wingdings choice lets you insert any Wingdings font character into a linetype. Consult Windows® documentation for a listing of Wingdings characters.
