	Hello, if you want to print from the model space or from the paper space the setings won't be the same. For a print from the paper space : The "lenght" of the dotted and center lines will change with the setings of : LTSCALE ( try <1> ) , MSLTSCALE ( try <1> ) , PSLTSCALE ( try <1> ). The "length" will also change if you choose different linetype ( try : centerline2 and hidden2 with LTSCALE = 1 ). you will have also to have your viewports at the right scales ( and the size of your format OK ). For a print from the model space, use the same but with LTSCALE x the scale of your drawing. Ask for more....
