It is practically same issue as is posted here:

>Currently a wireframe export will only use a hard coded 1pt line weight but I have set up the "Line style options" for wireframe exporting for the next beta version.

Hi Mik
Are these pdf files close to what you want?

It's possible to use a vector program like "Incscape" to set the line style. ( color, width, dashed lines, opacity, etc )

If you want to achieve the same result inside moi, you can use the "dashCurve" script on the 'hiddenLines' generated by the "Make2D4views" command to get the hidden lines dashed effect.
Change the hidden lines style to a darker color (#999999), so it's easier to see.
Then use a white surface to get the line style options. ( It's better to hide the surface edges )
Although, Changing the line width for different curves and styles is not possible.

Hi Mo,

thank you for your reply.

You are right, that's possible to use vector program like Inscape to set the line style, I personally use Affinity Designer2, but it would be nice to have such possibility inside MoI, especially if such settings - Line Style Options dialog exists already for MoI objects.

I use DashCurve script for Hidden lines too, it works perfect, but for many technical drawings, which I has to do from assembly contained many parts, so every repeatably line settings inside/outside MoI cost some time.

It would be ideal for me after check Generate hidden checkbox, if Make2D4views script would generate dashed hidden lines with color of Style = #000000 in one step, then PDF export with white surface as a background of technical drawings works OK.

MoI PDF export settings works perfectly for objects, therefore I'm sure that next beta allows similar line style settings for visible/hidden curves (wireframes) as Michael posted.
