AutoCAD 2010 :: Can't Produce Dashed Line
May 21, 2012I can't seem to produce a dashed line in CAD 2012 ! No matter what the scale. I can load one ok but it dosen't display as dashed.

View 4 RepliesTo adjust the line type scale until dashed line appear as fine or coarse as desire,Type:-
Ans - a) LSCALE b)LINESCALE c) LTSCALE d) None of the above.
I must be missing something fundamental when trying to change a line from a solid line to a hidden or dashed line in Autocad 2000. I use the ltype command then load either Hidden, or dashed ISO,or both, and invariably the scale is way off in that I always end up with a still solid line, after using modify properties. After all that, every line I draw after that comes out dashed. Maybe I should fool with the layers? Is there a basic procedure I should follow here?

View 9 Replies View Relatedi have a bunch of sheets set up, and you can see a white rectangle with a shadow that i guess represents my page, and then in this page there's a dashed rectangle that i'm guessing has something to do with margins or something. i would like to turn this dashed rectangle off, if possible.
secondly, my sheets are set up for 11x17.. i was given a title block drawing to use. the title block was drawn in modelspace at 11x17. i copied it into the sheet and it seems to be the right size. there's an 11x17 rectangle that the titleblock sits in, and i'd like to line this up with the actual page (to make sure the titleblock is in the right spot).. however i can't seem to snap to the corners of the white page with the shadow.
In the attached drawing you'll see I am trying to print a wireframe view of a 3D object with hidden lines displayed as dashed...in paperspace with an MVIEW viewport. To achieve this, I created a custom visual style called "3D Wireframe with hidden lines" because AutoCAD Mechanical doesn't come with a view preset that will do that for some reason. Even though the viewport looks perfect in paperspace, and is set to print "as displayed", the drawing prints (and previews) with the dashed line as solid instead.
I know I could use VIEWBASE to create a drawing view with hidden lines set to "visible and hidden", but that doesn't mean I don't want to know why AutoCAD is doing this strange behavior with standard viewports.
I drew a dashed line in model space and it appears as a solid line in paper space. What is going on?
View 4 Replies View RelatedACAD LT 2009, Win XP Lately a feature I am used to seeing has quit.Basically when you hover over a point of a line, a little cross mark appears and you can drag out a dashed line from that point which can be snapped to another object. Handy for finding perpendicular intersections. Whatever this is it no longer works. How do I get it back?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhy the dashed line (view area) changes on a page layout between plotting to pdf and plotting dwg to pdf? I have a title block that measures 16.25 x 10.25 that will print fine to pdf (for 17x 11). This same block will not print completely when using dwg to pdf.
In creating the page layout for pdf (only)the offset is .125 x .125. Once created, if I use this layout and then choose dwg to pdf as my plotter I do not have the ability to "fit to paper"
In creating the page layout for dwg to pdf the offset is .228 x .70. When bringing in the title block at 0,0 there is no way for this block to fit inside the dashed viewing line. The amount that this block extends beyond the top dashed line is way beyond what is available at the bottom.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have drawn a site plan in model space at 1to1 scale. I try to draw hidden lines to show demolition. In paper space the scale is set to 1"=50" to fit on paper. But all the hidden lines plot solid. I had changed LTSCALE, PSLTSCALE, to 1. This problem keeps happening in most every thing I draw.

I would like to turn these into 2D orthographic views, without the polymesh, is this possible.

so if the attribute has data it puts it in, but if it does not it just uses these dashed lines and I cannot seem to remove them. I don't want to make them invisible and don't particularly want to have to use code, but I have never come across this before .
I have attached a screenshot.

Any way to build or download a linetype that can display as a thick dashed line surrounded by 2 parallel lines on either side of it?
We use them to denote underground stormwater pipes in our survey models.
Currently I need to manually set each line to a polyline, give it a global width, and then draw a DLINE of the same width from endpoint to endpoint. The down side is that not only is it laborious, I also have to set the Z values to zero, so we lose the elevation feature of the pipe in the model.
Ideally it would need to have enough functionality to alter the spacing of the dashes, and the width of the line.
Can I make a dashed line using the line tool? if not, does Photoshop allow one to make/get a dashed line?

How do you make a straight vertical dashed (dotted) line?
Something about paths and holding down the shift key, but that doesn't do anything, no line shows and it doesn't like "snap" to a vertical position.
I'm trying to make a dotted line to be line a guide line for cutting when you print the image out on paper. Like the perforated line on a movie ticket or boarding pass.
Is it possible to change the properties of the dashed line? Specifically the dash length and space between dashes?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIve made some digital bunting in Illustrator using a triangle shape with a dashed line to make scalloped edged bunting. I want to fill the shape with a paper that I made. I used a clipping mask with has worked fine except for it doesnt fill the stroke which means the paper doesnt go into the the scalloped edges and its just a triangle shape.
Any work-arounds for this in Illustrator other than taking it into another suite application?

The file we generated is on the right side of the image, in both PREVIEW and OUTLINE views. You can see that letters "I" in the logos are boxes and the bottom horizontal stripe is a filled box. In the art file they received, the capital letters "I" in the art and the horizontal box have become paths with DASHES applied.
