Displaying Linetype 'appearance' in dialog

[AndyHill]

I have written a routine which identifies non AutoCAD linetypes and allows the user to convert them via a dialog box. I would like to display the appearance of the current linetype to help the user identify the closest standard linetype. I could use vector_image in an image tile but can see no way of extracting a non ACAD linetype definition (i.e. Its not in a .lin file).

Any Ideas?

Thanks
Andy Hill

Thanks Paul!

I've tried TO-LIN.LSP and it works fine.
