    Default Hidden lines do not look good in layout

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    In my model, hidden lines look fine (ltscale is 1). But in my layouts (which I created with layoutwizard) the dashes and spaces are very large. How do I scale them down? (trying to use ltscale in the layout also applies it to the model so now lines appear as solid)

    Regards,
    Ittay

    Don't be overly concerned with how they look in MODELSPACE,
    what is important is how they look in your LAYOUT and PLOT.
    Volume and repetition do not validate opinions forged in the absence of thought.
