Plotting XS - linetype only plotting as solid

  • 1.  Plotting XS - linetype only plotting as solid

    Posted 02-28-2020 10:36

    Plotting XS - I cannot get the linetype of the surfaces to plot correctly.  I only get solid lines.  In the "Edit Sheet Set" display, I see that the linetype is applied.  But the linetype is solid for the actual plot.  I have tried several linetypes with the same results.  

    Does anyone have a solution?

    Thanks

    I think I figured it out.  

    1.  I had to set the "show all lines as solid" option in "project settings/Display options" to "no".

          - I had messed with that in the past, so there may be some fixes in the latest releases.

    2.  Also, I changed the .lin file (acadlt.lin in the folder: C:\ProgramData\Trimble\CADStyles)

          - copied the "dashed" linetype definition to:  

    *DASHED-jm,Dashed-jm __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __
    A,.5,-.75

     

    I increased the Pen Up (negative value) to .75 from .25.

    This helped really define the dashed line.
