Dashed Lines Not Showing in Paperspace
Dashed Lines Not Showing in Paperspace
(OP)
Does anyone know how to get dashed lines to display as dashed lines in paperspace, in ACAD 2006? All lines are continuous in paperspace, but I have some dashed in model space. Come to think of it, differing line weights also don't show in paperspace.





RE: Dashed Lines Not Showing in Paperspace
You can get dashes to show up by setting the line scale parameter in Properties. Usually you have to set the gap REALLY wide in model space to show up in paper space.
I don't know if these annoyances have carried over to 2007 and 2008 (2006 does everything I need and I haven't even considered "upgrading"). They are sure a hassle in 2006.

I have come across posts in the past where people have said that they have written lisp routines that can change the ltscale automatically when you switch spaces, but have not actually gotten my hands on one. You could setup a few tool buttons with your common ltscales, if you have just a few scales that you typically work with. Say, if your working at 1"=100' ^C^Cltscale;100 would change your ltscale to 100
Also check that your psltscale is set to 1 if you have viewports with different scales on your layout sheet.

1. Select the viewport in paperspace.
2. Select the lines you want to add weight to.
3. Click "Properties"
4. Click "Lineweights" and change to whatever thickness works.
That's pretty straight forward, but it does change the lineweights in model space, as mentioned above.
