MKLTYPE is an unknown command in 2019LT 2020LT and 2021LT
How can the "-LINETYPE" command be used to create a linetype with text?
I have tried to use the directions in Autodesk Help to no avail.

[@karas_richard]

I have also 2019 AUTOCAD and it don´t want to take text, only lines. And when i want create arch between lines, it takes only lines. Where is the problem ? Is something bad setted ?

[@yusufaraskalkan2754]

Thanks so much mate. Saved so many hours of mine

[@isherkaur1103]

Is there a way to generate a linetype so that when its drawn from point A to B the text/ or pattern would fall in the center, rather than repeated pattern throughout. Any suggestion is highly appreciated.

[@AlekseiSljusarev]

4:59 does not work. It filters out text and don't want to select it. created line types contain no symbol. AutoCAD 2019

How can I send this linetype to someone and hope that its work?
Because I made linetype, but when i send, thats not working.
Is it because of created shape?

[@rakkaus45]

thank you for the video, that was usefull but when i finished all you have told, all linetypes has 27 degree rotated. i have to go to text and rewrite it to 0 or 90 degree. how can i solve this?

[@chidanandbhat1761]

I've followed the steps and created a rectangle pattern line type, however whenever change it and use said line type, it comes out all wrong including the scale (comes out too big).

Dear community, wishing all the best. Does anyone know the solution to the following problem or have arrived at the same problem? When I try to make a simple arrow linetype with a triangle text symbol and a line the triangle or the arrowhead in the linetype is above the line. Thank you in advance for any help.

helpful.. nice.. great... #CivilEngineering.... Keep it up...

[@graysongrzybowski943]

when I try to create the line type, upon pressing enter after selecting the objects and naming them, it says it fails. "Comma expected after text string," can you explain why this is?

[@bananimondal9389]

in my line text is going to above the line

[@kinjaldamani9797]

thank you so much, it was very helpful

[@Fasmaee]

Many thanks for this video. Does anyone know, at the circle (or curves) the linetype breaks (is not continuous) does anyone now how to solve that?

[@curlyhart5508]

Look up linetype generation. Turn it on for the polylines you want.

[@Danilo111]

Thank you, extremely helpful video

[@reilyn5366]

thank you, very helpful

[@serkansobaci8788]

Useful, thanks a lot.

[@troyareyes]

I tried this and the text became 7x larger for no reason. Then I tried exploding the text to polylines AND lines and it straight up wouldn't recognize the lines that were once text!

Go to Menu Bar (Express ►Tools ► Make Line Type ) Or Use Command MKLTYPE
