Batting line style or Insulation drawing

Hello all,

Trying to draw insulation symbols with LibreCAD, i've tried to find without success a "batting" linestyle as it exists in autocad or nanocad.

Is there any way to build a custom line style. Any other way to do that?

What are the others options to draw proper insulation symbols at scale ?

Example:


Many thanks for you help

Looks like we don't have support for a custom line type.

Need to enable this one.

I have experimented with a selfmade insulation symbol pattern. It was intended to be used as a hatch pattern. But unfortunately LibreCAD does not allow the origin of a hatch to be shifted so it can't be aligned to within a certain area.
It can be used though if you fabricate stripes of multiple elements of it, which you scale, rotate, copy, cut and shift to your needs.

You can put it into your hatch pattern folder and make hatch patches of it, then explode the hatch so you can move it around. Or open the file directly and copy and paste the pattern into the desired drawing or import it as a block.

Thanks a lot !
