FS#896 - Lineweight problem

Linux Mint - 64

I need to laser cut some dashed circles and in order to do this I need to change the lineweight to 0.00mm (this is the lineweight I use for all laser cutting), however when I do this the result I get is not acceptable.

Using a lineweight of 0.05 is fine but our laser cutters will only read a lineweight of 0.00mm.Normally I would use a linetype of continuous and would be no problem, but for this particular job I need to use the smallest Dash option here!
For now I can get around this problem but it would be good to be able to choose this lineweight and linetype choice at some stage.

Linepatterns at weight 0.00 scale the same as at weight 1.00 (= original pattern, no scale).

You might want to adjust the global linetype scale, a factor that is applied to all line patterns:

Thanks for the tip, useful to know - setting the Linetype scale to 0.1 gives an acceptable Dash for me now.

Yes this advice is working out for me, I've successfully laser cut a job with some small 'dashed' lined circles in it and everything works out nicely. I'll share this tip on the forum when I get a minute :).
