Assigning a Line Type in a drawing to a line in the drawing

[Sam Jones]

I want to assign a line type with a specific name that already exists in the drawing to a line in the drawing.  The command "SetLSN()" requires an integer not a name, and that integer seems to reference a pattern to assign to the line not a line style.  How do I assign a line style named "Named Line Style" that already exists in the drawing  to a line for which I have a handle?

 

Yet again

TIA.

Alternatively, is there a way to build a resource list that only includes resources (Line Types) that are already in the document?

Hi Sam, 

 

First try Name2Index as part of the SetLSN command:   SetLNS(H1,Name2Index('YourLineStyle');

 

Second, using a Folder Index of zero (0) in the BuildResourceList or BuildResourceList2 functions will return only resources in the current document.
