Re: new linetype |

The definition here will make a line like this:
_ . . . . . _ . . . . . _ . . . . . _ . . . . .
with a dash and then five dots, repeating. If "tnguyen" is looking for
something that's ALL dots except at the ends, regardless of the length,
that's not possible in a linetype definition. You could come sort of close
to it with a linetype defined as a series of dots, such as
*SIXDOTS,Series of Six Dots
A,0,-.0625,0,-.0625,0,-.0625,0,-.0625,0,-.0625,0,-.0625
(i.e., Tim's with a dot instead of a dash at the beginning), and the
"excess" beyond the dots cycle at the ends would be continuous lines, but
how long they would be would depend on the overall length of the line in
relation to the linetype definition cycle. That could be anywhere from
almost nothing to almost the length of the series of dots. And you'd get no
dots at all if the line is shorter than the cycle.
A somewhat wacky possibility: have a group of linetypes (TWODOTS,
THREEDOTS, FOURDOTS, etc.), and after you've drawn a line, assign different
ones to it until you get one that gives you about the right length of
continuous pieces at the ends.
