Good morning,

I like the Wiggle linetype for schematic presentations. Is there a Wiggle Dash? You get the
idea: upper cabinets above a counter. Now they are either WIggle or Dash.

Thanks

You can apply one of the Dashed Pen Styles to the Wiggle Line Type. In other words, set the Line Type AND the Pen Style at the same time.

Chris,

I did something like this a while back by tinkering with the Windows pen style and spacing.  In this case, you'd want to change the pen to one of the "Dashed" styles.  Because that pen spacing is relative to the print/plot output it took some doing to get the lines to behave, because viewing the lines on screen the spacing changes depending on the zoom.  But I haven't seen a Wiggle Dash line type.

Best,

Mark Wilhelm

All,

OK. Got it. Worked as directed. Thank you very much for the group of
replies.

A little used feature to me. When I use Line Type I have not implemented
the Pen Style. I'll have to go read M Smith book or study it a bit.

I keep hoping to get to a Dbug meeting in the Boston area but it's such a long
drive for the fun  and education that I'd have to combine it with something else.

-Chris
