This is the best way of doing this with out doing it completely from Scratch.ĭerval Canny, Bentley Technical Support GroupĪ custom line can be made up of a series of user-defined dashes (stroke pattern), a series of symbols at defined intervals (point symbols), or a combination of the two.Ī stroke pattern component is made up of solid “DASHES” and blank “GAPS”, all of which sizes (in master units) are defined by the userĪ symbol is similar to a cell and again is defined and created by the user usually before the custom line style is created.Ī simple line style could be a dashed line with an X symbol in the gap. There is no utility that will automatically convert it from one measurement to the other. Then remove the old point symbol with the new one. The next step would be to create a new point symbol using a file that is using Imperial units. You will need to change the dash and gap sizes accordingly. Using the custom linestyle resource manager copy the existing linestyles into a new resource file. The size of the symbol is dependent on the original size. We need to globally scale all of the linestyles from metric to imperial. Is there a way to do this without recreating the linestyle resource file? Solution The point is imported with a fence through MicroStation. Some linestyles can be converted with not much problems, such as a single line with dashes and gaps. Looking for a way to convert a custom line style library from metric to imperial units. Converting Linestyles from Metric to English
