Dotted lines in Autocad 2002

[fred]

Does anybody know how to draw a dotted line using Autocad 2002? I want a line with dashes 5 metres long and with gaps 2 metres long which when printed at a scale of 1-1250 will come out at 4 mm and 1.6mm with a line width of 0.5mm. Sorry, this Autocad is really weird and the helpfiles are no help at all.
Many thanks
Fred

I would experiment with the linetype 'scale' and 'generation' option within OPTIONS, shortcut Ctrl+1.

I posted up a previous resolution on this see these screenshots

Use search and 'linetype scale' to find a list of other previous posts on this topic.
