Layer Linetype [Solved]

Post by pmsharman » Sun Feb 07, 2021 12:59 pm

Following the ebook. I can't make layer linetypes work (see snip). All linetypes stay solid, whatever is set in layer attributes.
Looked through forums but still stumped.

Did you switch to the Screen Based Linetype mode?
Menu / View / Screen Based Linetypes = activated
Work smart, not hard: QCad Pro
Win10/64, QcadPro, QcadCam version: Current.
If a thread is considered as "solved" please change the title of the first post to "[solved] Title..."

Sorted thank you. But I had to use the button on the top row to get it started. View-Screen based linetypes had no effect. After using the button, the style now toggles with View-Screen based linetypes.
