Hidden Line Remains Continuous in Model Space Autocad

   Linetype Scale Factor - Hidden Line remains continuous

   Hi to all Auto-CAD users:

   I am presently working on my project when I tried to change a continuous polyline to hidden, the dash line remains a continuous straight line. I already change the scale factor to a lower and higher no. but the properties of the line on the screen and on the printed papers remain straight solid line.

   I will appreciate any possible clues from anyone.

   Thanks,

   Ted

   In the property box of that line you can set a LTscale per item, is that set to 1?

   Does the polyline have a width??
   And have you checked the ltscale factor in the propertiesfield of your object? Although the global ltscale (what you enter on the commandline) can set to a value, you can override this by selecting the object and change the ltscale in the propertiesfield, maybe this one has been set wrong...

   Is the line flat. I have seen lines that dont look lihe they take the properties you associate with them because they have different start and end z coordinates.

   In the properties box under misc, make sure that linetype is ENABLED, not disabled. That should fix it.

   Hello.
   Is that object parallel to the UCS? If not it could be a 3dpoly or line and because of that you can't see the dashed.
   Or try this sequence in the command line, pedit, "select the poly", L (of Ltype gen), on.
   If a poly as too many vertex's and if the linetype generation is not on you won't be able to see the dashed.

   Hi Ted

   Please note I have *moved* this thread from the CAD Mgmt. General forum to this one, as I feel this particular forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

   Thanks, Mike

   Hi

   The following threads may also offer some help on this subject...

   Dashed lines not dashed in Layout view

   ltscale restricted to viewport

   Linetypes appear to be continuous when file is Xref'd

   Paper space changes line scale

   Can't Dash or Hidden Linetypes

   Linetypes visible in Paperspace but not in Modelspace

   Identical objects displaying differently between drawings.

   Have a good one, Mike

   Hi to all,

   Thank you for all your support and quick response from different perspective related to my posted issue. I think I finally realized that I am presently working on my floor plan using 3-D UCS icon. As a general rule do you think other lines rather than continuous line or poly are the only lines needed to create 3D object? If not how can I view dash line if I need to use hidden lines or 3-D polyline?

   Thanks again for all possible response.

    As you're working in 3D, is your shaemode anything other than 2dwireframe?
    Generally, linetypes only display in 2dwireframe.
