Type SHAPE and press enter, command line will prompt you to enter the name of shape which you want to insert, type CLT and press enter again. The CLT Shape file is now created and it can be used for making our linetype. Press enter and it will prompt you for a description, add the description which you want or press enter to skip this. I will use ATEXT as the name of linetype. Now the command line will prompt you to specify the name of linetype. In my case, I am selecting desktop as the location and naming it as Sample_Ltype. Specify a location where you want to save this custom linetype and give it a name. Now type MKLTYPE and press enter, Select linetype file window will show up. MKLTYPE doesn’t recognize Mtext hence we need to convert Mtext into text using explode command before using the command. By doing so we can convert a Mtext into simple Text or single line text. Select the text as well as arrow symbols then type X and press enter. For this, we will use MKLTYPE express tool.īut before using this tool explode the text and arrow symbol. Our segment of linetype is ready and we can convert it into a linetype.

After adding text and symbol make two lines of equal length as shown in the image 1. Now type A and repeat the process of adding the left pointing arrow symbol. Now right click in the text box and select Paste from the contextual menu, you can also use Ctrl + V to paste the character.
