AutoCAD/linetype

Question
I need a linetype that is a squiggle- or continues arcs in autocad 2002.  I have created the shp file but that is as far as i can get.  Can you help.

Thanks

Answer
I don't do custom linetypes - the pain threshold is too high. I would suggest using a block. If what I'm thinking is correct - you want this to go at the end of a line to indicate it continues? The right way to do that is with a block anyways - you can set it up so it gets inserted at the end of a line and rotated and scaled with minimal effort. Let me know if you need help with that.

I`ve been using AutoCAD since 1987 and programming AutoLISP nearly as long. I can answer questions about programming AutoCAD (except ARX) and production enhancement techniques. I cannot answer questions about AutoCAD crashes or DWG corruption. AutoCAD PROGRAMMING (menus, lisp) related questions only!
