Issue:

Sometimes when an object linetype is DASHED, why does it display like a continuous line?

Causes:

One possible reason is that the object linetype scale doesn't match the object size.

When the object size is large and the object linetype scale is small, the dash will be too dense to be visible.

When the object size is small and the object linetype scale is large, only part of the dash can be displayed, which looks like a continuous line.

Solution:

The LTSCALE variable controls the scale of all linetypes in the current drawing.

  • Option A:
    Execute LTSCALE command, and adjust the variable value to your desired display requirement.
  • Option B:
    Execute LINETYPE command to open [Linetype Manager] dialog, and change the Global scale factor to make the object display match your requirement.
