LTfly - generate complex linetypes on the fly

(C)2020, CAD Studio a.s. http://www.cadstudio.cz

---------------------------------------------------------

LTFLY is a LISP utility for AutoCAD which generates

a new complex linetype from the given text.

Start the LTFLY command and enter the text to embed

into the new linetype (the current text style will be
used - make sure this text style will be available in
other drawings making use of this new linetype).

V1.3: if the entered text is ".", you can enter multiple

texts and create multi-text linetypes like this:
--- HOT --- WATER --- HOT --- WATER --- HOT --- WATER ---
V1.4: if the entered text is "-", you can enter multiple
texts and create multi-text linetypes like this:
--- HOT --- WATER --- HOT --- WATER --- HOT --- WATER ---
if the entered text is ".", you can create this:
--- HOT . WATER --- HOT . WATER --- HOT . WATER ---
if the entered text is ",", you can create this:
--- HOT WATER --- HOT WATER --- HOT WATER ---
or
--- G A S --- G A S --- G A S --- G A S ---
(better following arcs than single texts)

A new linetype with the same name as the text will be

created automatically and you can immediately assign
it to any line in your drawing. Non-standard names
will be "normalized" automatically. A linetype
definition with the same name will overwrite the
existing definition (you will have to regen your
drawing to see the changes).

If you need to export the linetype(s) to a .LIN file,

use the CADstudio LinOut utility.

In AutoCAD 2011 (and higher), the "U" alignment code

(upright - always readable text) will be used.

NB:
You can preset the _LTFLY_DoNotUseU LISP variable to
disable the "U" alignment code in AutoCAD 2011 and
higher:
(setq _LTFLY_DoNotUseU T)
