DWF is dashed

Anonymous

Can anyone explain why plotmaker output to DWF makes all the line work dashed in the model view (as against the sheet)

Has anybody experienced this phenomena and found a work around?

Guys,
ArchiCAD version and platform would help a lot.

Cheers.

Same specs as Lyle.

No I haven't resolved the problem and it occurs on both versions of archicad/ plotmaker - 8 and 9

Fellas,
I have tried to reproduce your problem, but I can't. I have published out 2 different projects and every thing is fine.

May be a little more detail explanation of how you are publishing them out might help.

Cheers.

also would help to know the name of the linetype that you are having problems with? is it a 'scale sensitive' line? did you make it yourself or is it built in?

i experienced a lot of problems with DWF in archiCAD 8 to the point i gave up using the DWF format entirely. most of those issues persisted in 8.1 as well. but whilst beta testing 9 i made a point of checking it out again and found that most of my problems were no longer evident, and the few bugs i did find with it were fixed (as far as i recall).

Of course, posting a screenshot of your settings for DWF publishing would help even more!

Hi Djordge
I am not sure where to find these settings other than those available when you apply the publish command. these settings do not appear to address the problem
Thanks for your reply
