Feature Request - Line Type Editor Update

    Is there any chance or updating the line type editor? The TBC version is a little dated. I like how quick and smooth the Autocad editor is.

    You know that you can use the ACAD.lin file in TBC and that you can edit all of those in a Text editor right? I often will start there as the Text Editor allows you to embed real text in the linestyles rather than have to draw them all as lines - and if you like a line file from AutoCAD or from imported DWG files, you can add them to your master library pretty easily.

     

    I don't disagree that the editor is a little dated

    I stumbled across this yesterday actually.  I agree editing this with the text editor is waaaay easier. It takes a minute to work out the formatting but once you do, it is very quick to copy and replace text to create alternate linestyles.  

     

     

    Is it me or does TBC 5.31 seem to handle lifestyles better? Might start using these again.

    The linestyle scaling issue was addressed in this release and that makes a big difference to performance
