    Default Help With Dashed Lines

    OK heres the problem :

    When using AutoCadLT 2004 it wont 'close' a square or shape when its turned into a dashed line.

    For Example :

    i want to draw a square and have the lines dashed, but what i sometimes end up with isn't what i want as the square doesn't 'close' up at the corners?
    (See Attached Images)

    Hope I've explained this as easily as possible and if the problem is this easily rectified then please advise me on how to do this?

    Thank you in advance for any help, Sean.

    As long as that 'shape' is a polyline
    the cure to your bad dashes is LTGEN

    Hi

    The system variable you require is PlineGen

    Look at setting it to 0 (Zero).

    You can also control it after the event via the _.PEdit command and using the "Ltype" option

    OR

    Via the Properties Window

    OR

    ....

    Have a good one, Mike
