    Posted: 16.Sep.2009 at 10:34
New member in need of a little help!!
 
I have used AutoCAD for several years now and never had this problem so i'm hoping somone here can give me some advice.
 
I have just finished marking some pipe runs on a building layout for a job we are about to start, the pipes running in the roof void I have drawn in Phantom. They appear on the model layout absolutely fine, however on the paper space layout the lines are solid. I have had this problem a few times in the past, but have solved it by simply using the linetype scale command. This time though, no such luck. Angry
As far as I can see I have tried all the seperate options available to scale the lines.
 
Can anyone shed any light on where I maybe going wrong here?
 
Thanks

Hi WolvesCAD and everybody else.
In addition to the use of PSLTSCALE as Arben.Allaraj recommends, you may need to verify that you've just used the correct linetype definition archive. It means that if u're working on Imperial units you should have load the linetype from the acad.lin, otherwise use the acadiso.lin for Metric units.
Using a inconsistent linetype definition may cause printing and viewing problems like those you are having.
Let me know if this fixes the problem.
Less is more
