Line Type Iii31 - Tripod Data Systems CO-OP 41 User Manual

Line Type
The LINE TYPE function is entered with a number in the
X-Reg that defines the new line type. This varies from
plotter model to plotter model. It allows you to plot
dashed lines, dotted lines or other various types of lines.
For the FIRST job let's plot the center line of the road in a
dashed line. To do this we must set up the random point
file, and define the center line of the road.

Now we need to tell the plotter to plot with a dashed line
(I am using an HP plotter so will use a 2 as the line type,
check your plotter manual for the number that defines a
dashed line for your plotter).

Now we can plot the line as normal.
