My use of QCAD Pro is mostly for architectural drawings. I print views typically at scales of 1:200, 1:100, 1:50 & 1:20. Like some others, I have been having issues where the Linetype scales on Model Space do not display as I would expect in Paper Space.
Anyway after a lot of reading of the forum posts & Tutorials I think that I have arrived at a solution that matches the need for my work. Below is a recipe of settings that I have arrived at.
Could someone please cast their eye over these settings to see whether I am on the right track.
Drawings Settings
Drawing Unit: Millimeter
Paper Unit: Millimeter
Measurement System: Metric
Global Linetype Scale: 1
Scale of Linetypes do not match the scale of each Viewport. (Not sure what this does).
In Model Space
Use Scree Based Linetypes
Antialiasing: On
When drawing use a Linetype Scale of 1 as the default. May change to 0.5, 2 etc. as required for individual lines.
In Paper Space
Paper Space Scale: 1
Viewport Scale as required Eg 1:100
Screen Based Linetypes: Off.

Re: Another User with Linetype Scale Issues
Looking at your specs - yes you are on the right track!
"for my work" is all what counts! I'm sure by now you realized that there are a lot of national, international, company intern etc etc rules and standards out there (not to talk about personal habits) but at the end of the day it has to fit your expertise and workflow to produce a quality product.
In short: If it works for you - go with it!
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro

Thanks Husky
What got me stumped was that things weren't working out when Screen Based Linetypes were turned off.
