How do I change the space between dashed lines in AutoCAD?

To adjust the scale, open the Linetype manager through Format > Linetype. Change the Global scale factor. Changing it from 1 to 0.5 will make your dashed line twice as dense. You can also change it using the command LTSCALE.

Why are dashed lines not showing up in paper space?

In most cases, your issue will be related to linetype scale (LTSCALE) as it relates to Paper Space linetype scale (PSLTSCALE). However, you may have your measurement units mistakenly set to Metric when your drawing is meant to be in Imperial units (or vice versa), which can also affect the appearance of dashed lines.

How do you get a dashed line to show up in Paperspace?

Double-click inside it and zoom in to your example. Then double-click outside the viewport to return to paperspace. Click on the viewport to highlight it, and change its scale to 1/4″ = 1′-0″. You should see the dashed line in the sample, similar to how it shows in modelspace.

Why are there lines in space in AutoCAD?

With lines in paper space and dashed lines in model space that has been established prior to production. Are the objects with lines continuous in space paper and dashed lines in space model used.

What happens when you draw a dashed line in AutoCAD?

After drawing a line or an object in AutoCAD and assigning it a non-continuous linetype (such as dashed, dotted, zigzag, etc.), the line or object still appears as a solid or continuous line in either model space or in the paper space viewport. The linetype scale is too large or too small for the size of the affected object.

How to fix dashed lines in paper space?

Dashed in paper space and with too large spaces between line segments in model space. At the command line, enter PSLTSCALE and press Enter. Change the current value to either 1 or 0, whichever is not current. Perform a regeneration of the drawing. Type REGENALL and press Enter.

How to change linetypes in paper space in Photoshop?

Objects to which a non-continuous linetype has been applied display either: Continuous in paper space and dashed in model space. Dashed in paper space and with too large spaces between line segments in model space. At the command line, enter PSLTSCALE and press Enter. Change the current value to either 1 or 0, whichever is not current.
