How can I get SketchUp dashed lines to print as dashed lines in Layout when using the Hybrid or Vector mode for the view. They show as dased in Layout but when printed to a PDF file they all go solid. They print as dashed in Raster mode…

Thanks

Leif

Can you share a LayOut file that shows this?

Are you talking about the dashes you can assign to tags or dashed Sketchy Edges raster-based lines (created with Style Builder)? The latter don’t work in vector-based views.

Fiund the issue - Line spacing was defauling to .5 in the Hybid settings - the screen image was good but the dashes became continuous in the output.

Thans for the response.
