Create custom linetype

Problem:
The Stabicad pallet center does not contain the desired pipetype/ lintype. How can I create a custom linetype?

Solution:
To create a desired lintetype in Autocad take the following steps. Close Stabicad to proceed.

1. Go through installation files to \\Trimble\StabiCAD NL\Bin Or \\Stabiplan\StabiCAD NL\Bin
2. Look up the 2322.lin file.
3. In this document the linetypes are determined. Open it with notepad.
4. Search for the desired line type.
5. Copy this line type, paste the line type at the end of the script.
6. Change the name. In this example the name is changed to 2322NS22_a. But this can be a name of your choice.

 

7. Apply the following steps on the linetype:
   • Change the linetype name (1*)
   • Determine the amount of spaces and dashes. Fill in the amount of dashes(2*) and spaces (3*). The - mark is the space. These numbers combined is a code.

8. Open Stabibase
9. Go to Manage > Pipe Types.
10. Scroll down to Custom pipe type 1. If this already occupied, select another Custom pipe type.
11. Click on “Edit preferences…" and fill in necessary the fields.

         

12. Click on Manage > Layers and search for Custom pipe Type 1 (or an other chosen custom type pipe).
13. Choose the line type and click on Edit…. Click next on Line type and choose the type you created in step 1.

          

13. Open a drawing and go in Stabicad pallet to Piping > Custom pipe types > Vrij1. If you chose other custom pipe type, choose the correct pipe type. For example if you chose Custom pipe Type 12 click on Vrij 12.
