When drawing dots, lines, and dashed lines, I find that the gaps are too small and not visible. How can I adjust this? Please ask those with experience for guidance

This issue has been mentioned in many posts on the forum; it’s due to incorrect settings for the linear scale. Enter \"ltscale\" in the command line; changing the value of \"ltscale\" will achieve the desired result.

As mentioned above, if you find it troublesome, just double-click it and adjust the ratio in the properties

Changing the linear scale only modifies it overall! I think the small gap won’t change! In this case, the line shape can be changed! For example, for dotted lines, you can try CAD... W100 line style. For the dashed line, you can try HIDDENM.

Using apline would also be better

I just wrote a Lisp script for this purpose; the demonstration and download links are: http://bbs.hcbbs.com/viewthread.php?tid=418017&extra=page%3D1&frombbs=1. Everyone is welcome to use it – it allows you to change the line style scale for all objects of a certain line type on a specific layer.

Open the menu “Format” → “Line Style”, select the line style you need, open “Display Details” in the upper right corner, and then modify the global scale factor.

It can also be modified using ltscale

It is best not to change the global scale; if your drawing contains multiple line types that require scale adjustments, it’s easy to end up neglecting one aspect while focusing on another.
