Greetings.

 

My first post here. Hope it's not crass to start off right away with a question.

 

Here goes, I have the old AutoCAD R14. It serves me well and I use it often to draw shapes to cut on my CNC plasma table.

 

My problem today is I have drawn a part that I need to sub out to get some bending done on it. What I want to do is add dashed lines to the shape where I need the bends made.

 

I changed to a new layer, ( layer 1 ), gave it a new color, loaded one of the dashed linetypes and set it to current. I must be missing something though because when I draw a line it shows up in the new color OK, but it remains solid.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Thanks for your help.

 

Works now with it set to " By Layer ".

 

This will get me going today, I can e-mail the drawing into my subcontractor now.

 

I'll be back soon, have to read up on using the different drawing templates, title blocks etc...
