R8 - how do i control linetypescale for printing?

[mary (Mary Ann Fugier)]

Hi @Benjamin_Schnei and @stevebaer ,
Here are the important quotes from the this thread.

@stevebaer

Is your goal to have linetypes in detail viewports drawn in world lengths instead of in output paper lengths?

@Benjamin_Schnei this sounds like a solution that we discussed earlier. In other words, you are looking for linetypes in detail viewport to be drawn on the screen on in model units instead of layout units.

@Benjamin_Schnei

i draw all the time 1:1 in model space and then scale the detail, without scaling text and dimensions.

If you want to see the linetypes on the details like you see they in a model viewport like Top, then you have to scale the linetypes in Model units, not Layout unit. When means that somehow we need an option to get back to this like we had in Rhino 7.

@Benjamin_Schnei

how can I make my line type look the same in the printing preview / layout area like in the model space? that’s the question, your post is not answering this. This works for dimensions since years.

Like @stevebaer asked, do you want “detail viewports drawn in world lengths instead of in output paper lengths?”, and I think the answer is YES!

@Benjamin_Schnei

bring the global scaling back, like in r7

I believe this the model scale options that Rhino 7 and previous versions had that Rhino 8 is missing. This is why we logged RH-79524
When we get a fix for this, you can test and see if it solves your issue.

Sincerely,
