In the attached file (iso_gestrichelt.dxf) there is one ISO dash line of 1mm weight. The line is 14.7cm long (10x1.2cm dashes + 9x0.3cm distances between the dashes).
"Print Preview" shows the expected result:
If I switch to "Screen-based linetypes" while in Print Preview, it looks like this:
In my opinion "Screen-based linetypes" should only affect the Construction View but not the Print Preview.

Re: Screen-based Linetypes affect Print Preview
Your drawing unit is set to Meter what means the line is 14.7 Meter long. Is that done on purpose?

Re: Screen-based Linetypes affect Print Preview
Yes, you are right. The object is meant to be 14,7m long. With a scale of 1:100 the object should appear as a 14,7cm long line. That's fine so far.
In "Print Preview" ("Screen-based Linetypes" switched off) I see exactly what I get on the paper. Switching "Screen-based Linetypes" on while being in "Print Preview" the output changes. In my opinion this should not happen because "Print Preview" should be WYSIWYG.

"Screen-based Linetypes" is automatically switched off in Print Preview.
It looks to me like:

Re: Screen-based Linetypes affect Print Preview
This is a user preference, accessible under:
Edit > Application Preferences > Graphics View > Appearance > Auto switch to screen based linetypes in model space
You can work with screen based linetypes in model space as well as in paper space (layout, print preview).
Re: Screen-based Linetypes affect Print Preview
Thank you guys for the answers!
Yes, but only if the user setting that Andrew mentions below is switched on. Otherwise not.
To be honest I find this behaviour a bit confusing. I would have expected "screen based linetypes" to be always switched off in paper space. Am I wrong?andrew wrote: ↑Mon Jan 13, 2020 9:53 amThis is a user preference, accessible under:
