3D Solid Hidden Line Plotting

Anonymous — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 12:55:06 GMT

I have a 3D solid with different views. I cannot get the hidden lines to plot dashed. I know this has been covered over and over, but I am stuck.

If someone wants to look I have attached the file. I think part of the problem is the hidden lines are scaling when I zoom in and out? Not sure what setting that is. File created with AutoCad 2020.

Thanks.

Hello @Anonymous,

I see that you are using Base Views they are projected views derived from the base view. The projected views maintain a parent-child relationship with the view it was generated from. You can change the layer properties of the Base View object to get the results you wish.
