However, I am having a (small) issue with Linetype Scale, which, most likely, arises from my limited knowledge of QCAD Professional (Version 3.27.8.0, Windows 10), kindly excuse my ignorance.
Two identical Geometries (for illustration purposes, Squares with Diagonals) in Model Space (with Linetype: Hidden, and Linetype Scale: 100, set explicitly and NOT inherited from the Layer), the second of which is just the first made into a Block, look different in Paper Space. The Exploded Square has Hidden Lines, as it should, but the Block Square does NOT.

Apparently, the Linetype Scale of the Exploded Square and of the Block Square is scaled differently. For the Block Square to look identical once again its Linetype Scale has to be changed to 100/50 = 2 (Scale of 1:50).
Any thoughts are greatly appreaciated, thanks in advance!
Steps to Replicate (executed in the attached Drawing):
- Application Preferences > Layer > Compatibility > Layer 0 behaves like a regular Layer (QCAD).
- Drawing Unit, Paper Unit, and Measurement System: Meter, Millimeter, and Metric, respectively.
- Global Linetype Scale: 1.
- Scale of linetypes matches the scale of each viewport: Checked.
- Screen-Based Linetypes: Unchecked.
- Since Layer 0 behaves like a regular Layer, for sake of simplicity everything is drawn on Layer 0.
- Create Geometry in Model(*Model_Space):
Draw Rectangle with Size (RS): 5 x 5
Draw Line from 2 Points (LI): Diagonals of Rectangle.
- Select All (TA) Geometry, and modify Properties (GP):
Modify Linetype: Hidden.
Modify Linetype Scale: 100.
- Copy (MV) Geometry, Keep Original, Select Copy, and Create Block from Selection (BC).
- The two Squares with Diagonals, the Original (Exploded) Square and the Copied (Block) Square, are identical, the only difference being that the Copied Square is actually a Block.
- Switch to Layout1(*Paper_Space).
- Click Drawing Preferences icon.
- Printing > Page
Page Orientation: Landscape
Paper Size: ISO A2
Viewport Scale: 1:1
Show Paper Borders: Checked
Point Size (mm): 0.5
- Click Single Page icon.
- Add Viewport (VT)
Scale: 1:50
- The two identical Squares with Diagonals are NOT identical, the Original (Exploded) Square has Hidden lines, as it should, but the Copied (Block) Square does NOT.
