linetype Problem

[Naruto2005]

Can someone help me in this I already set the LTSCALE,PSLTSCAL,CELSCALE,MLTSCALE to 1. And still in the Layout window the Dash and Hidden Linetype is Continous or solid.

Right

I've just had a look at your drawing and the first thing I've noticed a slight problem with is your viewports (don't worry it's not major). It's that you had an extra viewport which is overlapping the others (so to speak)

I also noticed when I went to modelspace a lot of your objects were not BYLAYER. This is one of the reasons why your lines do not appears as you wish.

The other problem is your drawings are too small for the linetype scale you are using. They are out by approximately a factor of 10

I've changed the linetype scale to .02 and as you can see in the attached it makes a world of difference

Bad drafting on your part: you have a foundatin plan in meters (drawn at 1:1 which is good), then in the same file you have details/tables/ of the foundation plan drawn at anything but 1:1. Very sloppy.

You can't do that and expect to also maintain a single settings for all those variables. Proper 'cadding' would dictate that each of these are in separate DWG files, each drawn at 1:1, and if you need them all in a single file them you XFREF them together.

This is not meant to be a rude question, I'm just asking: how long have you used AutoCAD and is your company not offering any guidance to you?

yeah i know i could have used Xref. But at this time im using the copy paste comand or better put them all in one file. hehehe. They only need a blueprint that why i didn't use the xref. i have the file drawn i separate. DWg file. so i decided to put them on file file by COPY PASTE Command. hehe
