AutoCAD allow to define your own complex linetypes - lines with symbols, texts, etc. The definitions of these lines are stored in files with the LIN extension. You can write your own definitions or pick tens of existing linetypes downloadable e.g. from Download.

If you use large number of complex linetypes we can help you to keep order in your linetype set - to make a catalog of your linetypes. With the free LISP utility by CAD Studio - LinCatalog you can automatically generate a drawing with all linetypes defined in a given .LIN file.

Linetype catalog

The application LinCatalog.vlx can be downloaded from Download.
