File Properties |
The Linetype properties manage the linetype patterns for the current model.
Adds a linetype definition.
Makes a copy of the selected linetype definition.
Deletes a linetype definition.
Imports linetype definitions from a .3dm, .lin or .txt file.
In the Import Linetypes dialog box, select the linetypes to import.
Restores the default linetypes that have been deleted.
Sets the global scale factor for all linetype patterns in model viewports.
The SetLinetypeScale command can change this setting from Command-line.
Linetypes are defined by a comma-separated list of dash and gap lengths, always starting with a dash. A zero-length dash is a dot.
Sets the display scale for linetypes to inches.
Sets the display scale for linetypes to millimeters.
Draws curve ends with the Flat (left), Round (middle), or Square (right) style.
Draws curve joined corners with the Miter (left), Round (middle), or Bevel (right) style.
Enable Print display to see the cap and join styles in viewports.
Sets the width of the linetype to base on screen pixels or length units.
Pixel width is intended for screen capture only. It does not affect Print Preview in viewports or Print. To print linetypes with widths, set linetypes to use length unit width, or set the Print Width in object properties or layers.
Print width overrides linetype width in pixels, but not in length units.
Linetype width can display in viewports when print preview is on or off. Print width needs print preview to be on to display.
Enables line stroke for the linetype.
Defines the location on a curve where the Taper Width applies.
0 is at the start of a curve and 1 is at the end.
The default value, 0.5, is halfway of the curve length.
Controls the line width at the Taper Position.
Controls the line width at the end of the curve.
Click the name to rename it.
"1,1" specifies a pattern with a 1-unit dash, followed by a 1-unit space.
"2,.5" specifies a pattern with a 2-unit dash, followed by a 0.5-unit space.
"1,.25,.25,.25" specifies a pattern with a 1-unit dash, .25-unit space, .25-unit dash, .25-unit space.
Complex dash-space patterns can be created this way.
In Rhino linetype files, specify units with a designator. All subsequent line patterns will use the specified units. You can change back and forth within a single file. If neither designator is found, mm is used.
Sets subsequent line patterns to mm units.
Sets subsequent line patterns to inch units.

Curve Curve from Objects > Extract Linetype Segments |
The ExtractLineTypeSegments command converts linetype patterns of the selected curves to curve segments and points.
The linetype properties of the extracted curve segments will be set to by object and continuous.
Command-line options
Deletes the input curves.
Makes the extracted curve segments of each input curve into a group.
Places the extracted curve segments on the current layer or the same layer of the input curves.

The LinetypeDisplay command configures how linetypes display in viewports.
Command-line options
Turn on or off linetype display in viewports.
Restarts the linetype pattern at the beginning of each polyline segment.
Restarts the linetype pattern when the angle between polyline segments exceeds this value.

Window Panels > Linetypes |
The Linetypes command shows document linetype definitions in a tabbed panel.
Linetypes panel
Add a new linetype to the document.
Duplicates the selected linetype.
Removes the selected linetype from the document.
Sets the global scale factor for all linetype patterns in model viewports.
The SetLinetypeScale command can change this setting from Command-line.
The linetype pattern name.
Linetypes are defined by a comma-separated list of dash and gap lengths, always starting with a dash. A zero-length dash is a dot.
Sets the display scale for linetypes to millimeters or inches.
Draws curve ends with the Flat (left), Round (middle), or Square (right) style.
Draws curve joined corners with the Miter (left), Round (middle), or Bevel (right) style.
Enable Print display to see the cap and join styles in viewports.

Enables line stroke for the linetype.
Defines the location on a curve where the Taper Width applies.
0 is at the start of a curve and 1 is at the end.
The default value, 0.5, is halfway of the curve length.
Controls the line width at the Taper Position.
Controls the line width at the end of the curve.
Right-click on a linetype to show the context menu.
Applies the linetype to the objects in selection.
Or select the curves and Shift+Double-click on the linetype pattern.
Applies the linetype to the selected layer.
Selects the objects displaying the linetype that can be By Layer or By Object.
Or double-click on the linetype pattern.
Only the object types supporting linetype display will be selected.
Objects in block instances using the linetype cannot be selected.
Makes a copy of the linetype.
Removes the linetype from the document.
Restores the default linetypes that have been deleted.
