Fast Drawing of Dashed Lines

The drawing of dashed lines on the screen is affected by the setting Fast drawing of dashed lines.
  • When the setting is selected, the drawing method is fast. Dashed lines are always drawn on the screen in the same way, regardless of the value of the line spacing or the scale of the drawing.

  • When the setting is not selected, the drawing method is accurate. Dashed lines are drawn on the screen according to the selected line spacing and the scale of the drawing.

Fast draw makes the handling of dwg files containing a lot of dashed lines easier.

Turn the setting on or off as follows:

  1. Select > User Preferences > Drawings, Models.
  2. Select the View tab.
  3. Select or clear Drawing: Fast Drawing of Dashed Lines.

The selection will be valid when you next time start the program.

In printing, dashed lines are always drawn accurately.
