Lineweight Plot Style Toggle?

Hello,

I use primarily Civil3d, but I belive this is a Pure-CAD function, not modified by Civil 3d.

Is there any way to get "squared" dashes/edges in a line using a lineweight, instead of a Pline Global Width?

 

The company I work for often uses a workflow of one layout per drawing, which has its disadvantages and its advantanges- depending on your point of view.

One of the things they use is PolyLine width on many of their boundary lines which yeilds a thick line for exacple in a "dot-dash-dash" linetype.

With pline width, that ends up looking like two squareish dashes and a tiny wide 'dot.'

 

Now, I prefer to build a number of sheets in one drawing so I don't have to spend time changing the same thing four times, but if I use a PLine width and different scales on different sheets, the linewidths are obviously out of scale on one or the other sheet.

If I use a 0 pline width, and instead use a lineweight that yeilds a similar thickness, the "dot-dash-dash" becomes a circle that is the diameter of the lineweight and two rounded dashes.

 

Ideally we'd use a lineweight (and perhaps a modified linetype) and get a series of squared dashes: "short-long-long-short-long-long"

 

Is that possible? Is it a system variable I'm not familiar with?

Thanks for your help!

 

-ps, I searched for an answer, and found nothing, so I apologize if I didn't dig deep enough; could you post a link if this has already been answered?
