Load Line types in Autocad

[cycleinmars]

Hello,

I am creating Autocad VBA Application which creates a Drawing in Autocad,
I require the centerline and the doted lines in the drawing, first when i started the Autocad application works fine since i had manually loaded the line types,
but when a new file is open and no line types are loaded, the VBA application gives the error,

Can Some body explain me th procedure to loading /calling atleast these two line type at the startup when VBA program is executed.

Regards

are they some kind of presets you need to install ?

if so you'll need to allow for this in your code / system settings page to point to the specified directory and copy the files in

no they are not to install,they are present in the Autocad file
I think we have to call them using initialization procedure.

I am not getting the procedure

Thanks for your concern

regards

im not familiar with automation ... couldnt you create a dxf file ? and import it ? to .cad ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AutoCAD_DXF

^^^ wiki file definition info

Application ID (APPID) table
Block Record (BLOCK_RECORD) table
Dimension Style (DIMSTYPE) table
Layer (LAYER) table
Linetype (LTYPE) table <<<<<<<<<< ???
Text style (STYLE) table
User Coordinate System (UCS) table
View (VIEW) table
Viewport configuration (VPORT) table

i want to load the line type files in the runtime,

certain users do not configure the line types and just run the product, they will come across the error and the program will crash,

well dxf file import system wont workout
