[ad_1]

Many users have reported that hidden lines in AutoCAD do not show in paper space or layout, and instead appear solid. This can be frustrating when trying to create accurate technical drawings.

One possible solution to this issue is to check the settings for the viewport in paper space. Ensuring that the visual style is set to 2D wireframe and that the XDWGFADECTL variable is set to 0 can help to display the hidden lines correctly. It is also important to make sure that the hideplot variable is set to 0 to allow hidden lines to show in paper space.

In conclusion, it is possible to fix the issue of hidden lines not showing in paper space or layout in AutoCAD by adjusting the viewport settings and variables related to hidden line display. This can help to create more accurate and visually clear technical drawings.

    After resetting PSLTSCALE to whatever is not current, regenerate the drawing by typing REGENALL and hit enter. The linetypes should change.
