Linetype and Lineweigtht problems

Post by dkairos » Wed Jan 20, 2016 1:40 am

I am trying to change a linetype from the "by layer" to ISO dash space. When I do this the linetype doesn't change until I also change the lineweight. However when I change the weight to the finest setting (0.05mm) the line appears too wide for the drawing. It's as if the line is in super bold. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

What are your settings for "View": "Draftmode" or "Screen Based Linetypes"? If you are working in Draftmode just change it to Screen Based Linetypes and normally you will see the changes straightaway.
Try and tell me what happens.
