UL - User-defined Line Type
UL [ i ] [, g [...,]] [;]
i ; unit type
g : gap length
• This command allows you to define line types which you can then subsequently select with the LT
command.
• i must be in the range 1-8. i identifies the line type that is to be defined.
• The index parameter uses absolute values.
• g (the gap length) alternately specifies pen up and pen down parts of the defined line type. A maximum of
twenty line sections are permitted, the first of which is a pen down section. Numbers must be integers in
the range 0~32767. These numbers are converted to percentages by the LT command.
• Maximum definition for the gap of each line type is 20.
• The sum of the gap parameters must be greater than 0.
• Specifying an index number with no gap parameters sets the line type to the default pattern for that index
number.
• Using the command with no parameter sets all line types to the defaults.
