Hi,

I'm using the arrow line style on TBC but when exported to CAD and open it on AutoCAD it is shown as a continuous line. I tried to covert it to a block but it doesn't solve the problem.
Any ideas?

thanks

Hey Toni, 

I'm able to reproduce what you're seeing as well. I would at the very least expect a .lin file that matches what TBC has and changes the lines to the appropriate type once imported. 

Let me dig into this a little further and I'll let you know what I'm able to find.

Hey Toni, 

I was able to get the line style's exported out of TBC and into AutoCAD by importing the AutoCAD .lin file (acadlt.lin) into TBC instead of the TBC Line type file (Linetype.ltp). 

At the moment it seems this is a limitation of TBC's style's to import into AutoCAD in the same format. I'm working with TBC team to hopefully get this enhancement in a future release. 

Let me know if you have any questions.
