linetypes/dashed lines not working

[Anonymous]

I'm having a time just trying to get some simple dashed lines to show up. Some show up properly in the layout, some don't, some print properly, some don't. The linetype, linetype scale, etc, everything is all the same, but some work and some don't. What else can I try here? Plot styles? Any ideas appreciated...

What type of entity are you having problems with? Linetypes do not display or plot when applied to 3D Polylines.

thanks for the response. Not working in 3D here, I'm stumped because this should be very simple, just have some regular old poly lines and splines that are supposed to be dashed.

PSLTSCALE in the viewport, also make sure each line
pline spline is at the same ltscale.

Also make sure that Linetype Generation is
enabled.

There's a few things with that dwg that I don't
like seeing. MHO

First run an audit on it, I got a lot of errors
undefinned shapes (or someting)

Second, look into the PLINEGEN sys var. (help file
explaines it)

Third, Don't assign a thickness to the lines/plines
if all you are doing is 2d. (may of been confused with pline
thickness)

Last, some of distances between the vertexa on the
plines are so short there is not enought room to show dashes (see #2
above)
