Does anybody know a way to create a Break line type in Rhino? The sort that has a series of little zigzags in it, at intervals along the line.

That currently isn’t possible with how linetype patterns work in Rhino. Rhino’s lines consist of repeated patterns of drawn lines, gaps, and points. There is no provision for zigzags or text in the pattern like you would expect in an application intended for drafting like AutoCAD.

hI, ANY UPDATES ON A BREAKLINE?

Nope… RH-65689 Linetype: Break line -Pascal

I had need for just this last week. Again. Had to resort to manually drawing said linetype. Again. Sigh.

This would be really nice to have!

Are we any closer to possibly getting this feature? Thanks!

Hi Matt - [image] MattE: The sort that has a series of little zigzags in it, at intervals along the line. Could you post an image of such line? -wim

I suspect it’s like this… [image] Haven’t tried personally yet, but if I understood correctly, this is now possible in the WIP
