You must save the line type with the anchor point/line on the origin

The anchor will always be in the centre so you need to have something on the opposite side of the line the same distance away as the upper limit of the text.

Place it to the opposite side of the intended center.
If the fartest point of the Gas text is let us say, 1 meter from the intended center line, then place a Hotspot 1 meter from the intended center line on the opposite side.
Then select all (including the Hotspot), Copy, then paste into the New Symbol Line Type pattern. Works for me.

That was farthest from me to make such a joke.

Using hotspots leaves a dot in the line type. I'm trying to make an amended version of the slope line type but can't replicate the line type without a spot due to the hotspot whereas the original doesn't have a spot and is offset as required.
Any thoughts on how this has been achieved?
thanks
