Structures template linetypes
Last updated: 2026-01-06
Overview
The WisDOT Structures Civil 3D customizations require custom AutoCAD linetypes. WisDOT Structures custom linetypes are embedded in the two Structures drawing templates. For more information, see the WisDOT linetypes page.
WisDOT Roadway linetypes can be imported as needed using the custom tool to Add individual component.
Resource files
The WisDOT structures linetypes rely on the following component files:
- AutoCAD linetype files located in C:\WisDOT\Stnd\C3D20xx\Components\Linetype
- wisdot.lin
- AutoCAD shape files located in C:\WisDOT\Stnd\C3D2024\Components\Support
- BOS.shx
- dgnlstyle-ewdotudls.shx
Linetype list
The following linetypes are available in structures templates. All linetypes in structures templates are Annotative Linetypes. (Linetypes automatically scale according to annotation scale.) For more information about annotative linetypes see Linetype scale explained.
| Linetype | Description | Shape File |
|---|---|---|
| Brkln | Break line | BOS.shx |
| Echnl | Water Channel | |
| Egr | Guard rail | dgnlstyle-ewdotudls.shx |
| Eripr | Riprap | dgnlstyle-ewdotudls.shx |
| Eshtplg | Sheet Piling | dgnlstyle-ewdotudls.shx |
| Grnd | Ground line | BOS.shx |
| Wisdot1 | Dot | |
| Wisdot2 | Short dash | |
| Wisdot3 | Long dash | |
| Wisdot4 | Dash/dot | |
| Wisdot5 | Skip dash | |
| Wisdot6 | Dash/dot/dot | |
| Wisdot7 | Long/short dash |
The Linetypes Component palettes can be used to quickly make any of the roadway or WisDOT linetypes current (including all linetypes listed above except Brkln and Grnd) linetypes.
Be aware that any palettes noting that object properties are preset will also change the active layer to the appropriate roadway layer.
