Linetype in model view

Anonymous

I accidentally changed somehow linetype of beam system lines in model view. Now it is displayed as ACAD_ISO10W100. It must be some setting within this particular drawing, because other drawings look OK. Could someone help me to bring it back to continuous? I attached screen image from my model view.
Thank you very much in advancemodel viewmodel view

maybe a bit late...but I found the solution 😃

 

This is a "plotstyle" setting =). this was new for me too, but the model area could use plotstyle to and this is set by the following steps:

 

  • command _.PAGESETUP
  • now you see, for the model, a pagesetup is used, I decided to change the exisisting one, but you could use a new one
  • so in my case, the PDF plotter is set, maybe a complete new plotter or an existing one like XPS is better to use
  • activate the "use plotstyle" checkbox
  • use an existing or new plotstyle
  • change the linetype for the color 1--> this ismaybe used for other thing, so you had to know, you change maybe other things to!

Here is a small screencast: https://autode.sk/2UsFYkK

 

@A.Tusia  if I remember correct, you had a similar issue or not? but I could not find the thread from you, so I mentioned you here. If not, just ignore it

Hello

 

The linetype switch for beam axis is done automatically when you load or bring ACAD_ISO10W100 linetype into your model. To "switch back" to continuous representation, I can think of two options:

1) copy+paste into a new dwg model where you don't have this linetype (and you also not transfer it indirectly by  paste operation)

2) select all the beams, go to their Autocad properties and set value 0 for Linetypescale.
