BROKEN LINE NOT SHOWING IN PAPER SPACE WHILE PRINTING

[ABAKAM BASSEY ABAKAM]

Sir /Madam,

 

Please I need help on how to make my broken lines appear in paper space while i am printing.

 

What is the command to scale my line weight?

 

Thank you.

Paperspace can show the same as Model space using Psltscale variable, the global variable is ltscale. There is help about Psltscale .

If you are manually assigning a linetype to your breaklines, just go into properties and change linetype scale.  From there just tweak the linetype scale until it displays the way you want in the print preview (I usually start at .5 and scale down until it shows up the way I want).

 

Common practice is to put the viewport in paperspace, then put the breaklines in paper space on either side of the viewport being cut.

There's also a viewport command that will let you trace along the inside of the breaklines and create a new viewport that way.  But it's an extra step and isn't always necessary.

I like to keep things simple so in linetype manager I always turn off 'Use paper space units for scaling' that way the way I see the linetype in model space is the same in paperspace.

That is the same as PSLTSCALE. 0=OFF 1=ON
