Hey folks,

I've just printed my first E-sized drawing using NX 6 and am not thrilled with the results. Specifically the hidden lines look pretty awful. I chose the dashed format for these because the dotted format does not print (as in, dotted format is identical to Invisible). Is there any way to change the dash spacing? My assembly prints are dificult to interpret becasue the spaces between the dashes are too big!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Have you tried going to...

Preferences -> Visualization -> Line

...and changing 'Line Font Display' from Hardware to Software, which will then allow you to edit the relative size of the 'spaces' versus the 'dashes'.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
 
John,
Does that also change the plot settings? I thought that was just for the rendering on screen.
