View 8 RepliesI 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.

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.
Is there a way to make it so when you're drawing a line you can see how it actually will look like?
On paint it shows exactly how the line looks as ur drawing it,
but on Photoshop it shows some rectangle outline of the line.
I need to transform a lot of dashed (single) lines into separate lines... Who can tell me how to do this in a few clicks. I don't need an outline of the dashed line. So the black dashes I need, the white in between the dashes I want to loose.
See the example. I need the second lines.
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?

when I apply a clipping mask - the picture gets a dashed line border that remains even when the image is saved as JPEG. Is there a way to get rid of the dashed line border?

I noticed that on the first floor plan, this roof slab shows as dashed lines. How is this done? I tried copying/duplicating this roof, but dashed lines do not show.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe use a specific program for our line of work (KCL) in which the blocks of equipment we bring into autocad dashed lines only show up with an LTS scale of 10. By doing this I can never get our regular dashed or hidden lines to show up at that scale so I have to adjust the properties of each line to .025 or something like that for it to read. Is there something globally to change to make this work better?
Also, does PSLTSCALE have anything to do with it? What should this be set to?
Why I can't see my dashed lines in my layout tab? They are drawn in my model space, but just can't see them when i get ready to plot.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have exported a dashed line from some CAD software (KASEMAKE) as a PDF. When viewed in acrobat and zoomed in, you can clearly see the dashes. When opening in Illustrator it comes in as one solid line. Corel Draw opens it correctly too. I cannot find any import settings for bringing in a PDF in Illustrator. I have uploaded the PDF file to a dropbox so that people can see it. [URL].
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I define a dashed line, then go back to edit a new dash, the dash/gap settings must first be deleted. Is there a simple way to delete these numbers without selecting and deleting each one? I happen to be using CS5 but this feature has not changed since AI was introduce, if I can remember right.
I know I should save multiple dash "styles", but even stroke profiles are saved for quick reuse. Why not dashed lines?
When I join 2 lines that are dashed (or dotted, I don't know which is the correct name) there's no "corner". See picture below. In one of the corners the lines doesn't meet. In the other there's a "cut-out".

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've been customizing acad.lin like a maniac for the last couple of days and there's a recurring problem that I can't resolve by myself.I have this line...
*EX-DASH,[G] Existing - - EX - - - - EX - - - - EX - -
A,.125,-.0625,0.127,-.254,["EX",STANDARD,S=.127,U=0,X=-.127,Y=-.0635],-.2,.125,-.0625,.125,-.0625
The result is similar to...
- - EX - - - - EX - - - - EX - - - - EX - - - - EX - - - - EX - -
Let's say that the pattern of the line ("- - EX - -", because that's the part that's being repeated) takes 50 units to display at a given scale. I draw a PLINE and one section of the line is like 75 units long. If the line I'm drawing can't contain the pattern of my custom line, it won't display correctly. Given these numbers, the pattern would only display right once (75 / 50 = 1.5).
I get that and it's ok. HOWEVER, one thing I don't get is why autocad displays the pattern once and then fill the rest with a continuous line. It's okay for all my continuous custom lines with text because it keeps the same base line and it feels transparent (and it's also the reason I never realized it was reacting this way until I started working with dashed lines).
Example: I want to display "- - EX - - - - EX - -" but would only have space for "- - EX - - - - E". Acad will display "- - EX - -" once + continuous line for the remaining space.
I know that if there's no space to fit a second "EX" it can't be displayed, and that's all right, but how come it doesn't fill the rest of my line with dashes instead of a continuous line? With PLINEs, every time I turn a corner, I get this continuous line segment on each corner before it starts displaying the dashes (because I can't always draw lines that fits perfectly the pattern).
How to force it to display dashes when there's not enough space to repeat the pattern one last time?
I have some text in vanilla Autocad 2014 that is showing up as dashed lines
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to plot a drawing, Visual style: wireframe, occluded edges: dashed. The drawing has millimeters as the unit of measurement. I have tried this (taken from a website some of you might be familiar with):
[URL]
but it does not work. I set the ltscale as low as 0.01 but without result. I tried printing from "model" and "Layout" (everything is set at Wireframe and dashed occluded edges).
I have finished the drawings and documentation and this is holding me back from printing and sending what I have done.
I'm pretty new and have a simple problem that for some reason I can't figure it out! And that is how to make a series of lines on the image that are all perfectly horizontal or perfectly verticle. This will be part of a chart and the lines will be dividers. So the chart will have basically 21 rectangles with 3 rectangles across and 7 rectangles down.
So, I KNOW how to use the straight line tool to make the vertical and horizontal lines but I don't know how to keep the lines perfectly vertical and horizontal and parallel with each other!

I have just added all my attributes to the main template, but the default for the attributes is four dashed lines ----
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.
dashed lines are showing as continuous in both model and paperspace the property tab shows the linetype as by layer when i click on the line and under the layers proper manager the linetype for the layer says dashed

I have a map which I devided to
3 layouts (scale 1:1 = 1)
+
1 layout where general map is shown (scale is 1:5 = 0.2)
On scale 1:1 I want line to be shown as dashed (same as in Model). But in scale 1:5 I want line to be shown as continuous.
how can I show dashed line as continuous in single layout. Which settings for layout must be changed?
