Is there any way to create custom Line end and line starts?

I need to create custom shapes for line starts and line ends. Currently, I can create new line styles and patterns, but not custom line ends or starts. I would appreciate if someone could help me with this or if it's possible to request the developers to add this feature.

    This would be a great feature. This may have to be posted as a "New Idea" so people can vote on it.

    How do you create custom line styles? I need more than the standard ones in the dropdown and can't find a tutorial on how to do this. Is there a way to import more line styles than the standard ones? Thanks in advance!

    @Nancy Goldstein this might help. I find videos to be better for learning this topic though.

    Hi, Luke -

    Thanks so much for your response. Unfortunately, "Manage" is grayed out in my object style dropdown. I'm running Revu x64 Basics. I guess the ability to access the advanced styles menu or create custom linetypes would require an upgrade!

    Best,

    Well that stinks. Can you "Open" this file and see if it will load the "Sketchy" line type I exported.

    If this works, then you can at least ask the community to make any custom line style you need or import them from websites.

    Hi, Luke -

    I apologize for the delayed response. I upgraded to Core because I wanted some of its other features, like angle calculation. Importing your .blx file was no problem and now I have your sketchy line :-). I'll review the video link again and hopefully I'll be able to create the other linetypes that I need. Thanks so much for your help!

    Best, Nancy
