dotfont prints and exports as a dashfont

hi all,

?? I like the dotfont, it's neat.
Or is it a dashfont with a different scale ?

Well, if you scale the dotfont up to say 3 times bigger than the default, what
happens. Does it turn into the dashfont? Or does the spacing just change and maybe
the dots get bigger?

Uh oh, I take it back. Looking at the hatching on a cosmetic sketch, trying to
change line style, there is no control over font size. See what you mean about
printing dashes ~ when did *that* start? But check out below where you set the
font, where it says width. Give it a non-zero value and it draws lines sideways
(DOTFONT) which turn into little diamonds when you print. This is goofier'n all
hell.

Something else I noticed though. If you go to Retrieve, it lists all the xch files
you have for different materials. You can edit these things, add lines with
different angles, change line styles, offset stuff and then save it with a
different name, like Brick. I just don't see anyway to put circles or triangles
like AutoCAD materials have.
