Viewing dashed lines in paper space?

    In paper space all my lines appear continuous despite the fact that i have three different linetypes drawn in model space. Has anyone experienced this? How do I fix it? I want to plot my linetypes as drawn in model space.

    Look up the PSLTSCALE variable, and study its relationship with LTSCALE. In
    your case, setting PSLTSCALE = 0 and then a REGENALL will probably let you
    see your linetypes in PS.

    In addition to Paul's reply (which might solve the problem) you can also go in through the VP, select the line you want to show dashed, open your properties menu, and change the Linetype Scale - usually to a smaller linetype (i.e. 1.0 becomes .5) It all depends what scale your VP is at. If you have different scale viewports, you have to have different scales on your linetypes or they won't show correctly! (After you do above, always REGEN because they may not show correctly until you do that.)

  4. One more thing to check, under the format pulldown, linetypes, uncheck "use
    paper space units for scaling".
