hello hopefully you can stop me tearing my hair out haha.

Trying to view dashed lines in my model space and they were displayed as such the last time i was working on but switched focus on to something else in the same document.

Have tried setting linetypescale at multiple intervals up to 10,000.
Have checked print preview to see if they can be seen there.
The properties for the lines are all in check to make sure the curves should be displaying dashes.

Two things have changed, one being adding multiple sublayers and two accidentally executing a command and not knowing the effect (still dont know).

Thanks a lot

Is this a print problem or only a viewport/display problem?

Check this option in print window:
2023-08-04 13_02_13-Print Setup

What if you create a new default document? Can you see default dashed linetypes there?

Can you attach a simple file where you are unable to see dashed lines?

Hello - I can’t tell exactly what the problem is that you are describing but if you do not see linetypes at all, run the LinetypeDisplay command and make sure DisplayLinetypes=Yes

The option in your snap is already checked, i’m thinking it many be a viewport thing or a corrupted file.
In a new, much smaller smaller file, the dashes show so im thinking that it must be too big for my laptop to handle.

The file is over 700mb and so im guessing above mentioned is the case.

To confirm here’s my system info:

Linetypes are being displayed and technically the dashes do show, however, they are stacked onto a continuous line with less than a pixel on either side of the line following the dash pattern.

If I could get your input on the above response, it would be appreciated.

Hi Max - in the file that shows the dashes correctly, is it a new file, or a piece of the bad file exported? If it is not the latter, can you try that and if it still does not display properly, post the file here.

Evening, I just ctrl C then Ved it onto another document I was working on. When you say export do you mean just export the curves as a separate 3dm file?

8

Yes, please.

Or delete all but a couple of not-right curves and SaveAs to make sure to keep all the document settings.

Pascal… don’t worry I am completely bugging out. My workflow is f****d and im working in millimetres but using lengths that should be in Metres e.g. 3.5mm.

Just changed the linetype scale to .1 and its fine - cheers.

In relation to my first response, is it stupid for me to be working on a 720mb file with my laptop specs?
Cheers for the concern

Hi Max - that is a biggish file and more ram is always helpful but I think I’d expect it to work fine.

Is it possible (and maybe I missed any mention in the above replies) tgat he just needs to change the Line Scale in Options to something like 48?
