    Question Dashed lines not dashed in Layout view

    I have created (actually edited) a drawing, and have inserted some dashed lines in the "Model" pane. When I switch to layout view to plot, the dashed lines appear solid, and plot solid.

    AutoCAD LT 2002
    Linetype: 0.6
    Viewport scale in layout view: 0.0101

    What do I do?

    Set PSLTSCALE to 1 to allow the vp's scale to affect ms lines.

    I tried that by entering "PSLTSCALE" in the command line, and then entering "1". Nothing...
    Any more help?

    I entered "0" value for PSLTSCALE. Now my dashed lines are visible.

    Why?

    Thanks for your help anyway, eljobe.

    Hi

    Check out the following thread, it talks about LTSCALE, PSLTSCALE, CELTSCALE etc.

    All of them + other things (Acad.lin, AcadIso.lin, CAD Unit in ModelSpace, CAD Unit in PaperSpace etc) affect the length of Dashes and Gaps within Linetypes -

    Complex lines not printing

    Have a good one, Mike
