[Alex_K]

Looking to do a custom linetype then convert it into curves or a hatch and no longer keep the line. Is this possible?

Example:

[would like the above as a curve]

You can use ExtractLineTypeSegments to explode a linetype into the segments, but it doesn’t convert them into outlines.
I’ve put your feature request on the list as RH-84538 Linetype: Extract Outlines

For the time being, you could try the TestCurveOutline test command. In a quick test here, that flips and scales the curves and can also cause bad geometry. It could serve as something to work from, though…

Was there any further progress with this request ?

RH-84538 is public and you can always check activity.

That ticket is currently on the “Future” list.
