When I change the colour of lines from red to anything else, the problem disappears and the. The problem persists even when I manually change the linetype to continous in both the model and layout viewports. All the lines drawn in red (colour 1) are plotting a dashed dot line. MEMO: Curiously, this variable is layout-specific. Hi, I have never faced this problem before upgrading to AutoCAD 2016. Q: But why is it that most of the time you can’t see the broken lines in a viewport, such as in this first illustration?Ī: Set the variable PSLTSCALE (Paper Space Linetype Scale) to, then REGEN, to accomplish the task shown in the second illustration. Center lines: Center lines represent axes of symmetry and are important for interpreting cylindrical shapes. The line type is dashed and the line weight is medium thick (0.35 - 0.45 mm). Hidden lines: Hidden lines represent edges and boundaries that cannot be seen. A common rule of thumb is to set the LTSCALE factor to the inverse of the plot scale i.e., if you’re plotting 1/4" = 1’0”, set it to 48. can You displays linetype Continuous The dots, text, symbols, and 13, PLINE AutoCAD standard the With LINE, POINT, TEXT, commands, SHAPE and dashes. The line type is continuous and the line weight is thick (0.5 - 0.6 mm).

is just squirrely enough to warrant some automation.Īs we know, non-continuous linetypes in model space are governed by the LTSCALE variable. The column on the left lists all elements in the drawing. This will bring up the ''Visibility/Graphics Overrides'' dialogue box. In the view in which you want an object changed to dashed lines type VV. Do not use both types at the same time, however, because the results can be unpredictable.

The two types of dashed lines produce similar results. In the hands-on lab-"Click My Ride: Customizing Autodesk® AutoCAD® for How You Work"-that I presented at Autodesk University 2013, we took a look at a few fundamental approaches to customizing, and adjusting the viewport display of non-continuous linetypes such as Dashed, Center, Hidden, etc. How can you change a solid (continuous) line to a dashed line Answer There are two ways to do this: 1. Note: The linetypes used internally by AutoCAD should not be confused with the hardware linetypes provided by some plotters. Back January 11th, 2014 Quick Tip: View Dashed Lines in a Viewport
