Have fun? Went to one in a few years back in Orlando. First time going and that was all I ever needed to see of SolidWorks World. Bunch of hyped up nerds wearing their SW certifications like it means something.

But the weather was nice, food was good, the Disney hotels were decent and it wasn't work. lol Richard Branson was a keynote speaker and was a highlight for sure.

It was good. Mike Rowe from dirty jobs was a guest speaker. Lots of hardcore nerds. I spent a lot of time at the beach.

can someone PLEASE teach me or just make a linetype for me

i need it to look like the attached image.(the blue line obviously)
right now we cheat and use three lines. the centre line is a dashed line with global thickness, and the 2 outside lines are offset of the centreline and are continous linetype to give the effect of well, kind of like a candy cane haha.
anyways, can someone help me out and design linetype style we can use so which works on polylines, with arcs, corners etc. i can't get it to work!

no one?!

My guess would be to create a custom shape file and then convert that to a custom line type in express tool.

I followed the above link, n got results that works but are limited to the units of shape file. I'm still a noob and dont know how to solve that issue, so the best i can do would be a MLINE over top of a dash, which is almost the same wa u cheat but with a little less work. Dont think this help much but thats as much as i can give.

They're forecasting an even larger shortage than back in 2003-2006 when everything was booming. I'm trying to hire a checker and can't find one to save my life.
