[solved] Linetype scale in pdf files and printing

Post by hencca » Fri Mar 12, 2021 1:12 pm

Hi!
I am using QCAD v. 3.26.0.0 in Windows 10.
I dont seem to get the scaling of the linetypes right. Although I have tried all the advices I have found in Forum.I have the command "Scale of linetypes matches the scale of each viewport" turned on and I have the "Screen-based Linetypes" turned on and the linetypes looks allriht in print preview but on paperprint and in pdf-files all the lines are continues lines. Is there somewhere something written abaout the problem or can you help me with this?

Hi,

I changed all Linetyp scales in the drawing to 1. I also changed the global linetype to 1 below Drawing Preferences. Comes this now closer to what you are looking for?

Thank you Husky!
That solved my problem and my pdf-file is allmost right. Only the short curved lines are continues but that is a matter of linetype (.5 or x2).
By the way I have also a husky here who now tryes to get me out on walk.
