I am interested in trying to reproduce this symbology and have tried editing styles but with limited success. is there more than one way to do this in ArcGIS? Can line symbols be created in another program - such as Coral Draw and imported into ArcGIS.</P><P></P><P>Cheers</P><P></P><P>Iain</P></BODY></HTML> Sun, 28 Jun 2015 04:59:36 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/creating-custome-line-symbology/m-p/412948#M1411 IainStuart 2015-06-28T04:59:36Z Re: Creating custome line symbology https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/creating-custome-line-symbology/m-p/412949#M1412 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Do you have an example of the line symbology that you are trying to create? </P><P></P><P>Have you tried representations?</P><P><A href="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/map/working-with-layers/what-are-representations-.htm" title="http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/desktop/latest/map/working-with-layers/what-are-representations-.htm">What are representations?—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop</A> </P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 29 Jun 2015 02:31:23 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/creating-custome-line-symbology/m-p/412949#M1412 XanderBakker 2015-06-29T02:31:23Z Re: Creating custome line symbology https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/creating-custome-line-symbology/m-p/412950#M1413 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><IMG alt="Boundry symbols.jpg" class="image-1 jive-image" src="/legacyfs/online/114445_Boundry symbols.jpg" style="width: 620px; height: 442px;" /></P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 29 Jun 2015 10:42:01 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/creating-custome-line-symbology/m-p/412950#M1413 IainStuart 2015-06-29T10:42:01Z Re: Creating custome line symbology https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-mapping-and-charting-questions/creating-custome-line-symbology/m-p/412951#M1414 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I think many of these line symbol are already present or can be recreated based on an existing line symbol (just switch on the other Style references that are normally switched off).
