Hi MIchael ...

I can't speak for Max, of course, but dashed lines per style would certainly work for my architectural work.

Same reason as Eric.
To be honest I think there should be a dedicated small palette for that, as for me now styles = materials. More like in other CAD software: line types are a property apart.
Thank you very much for your attention

Hi Max,

> More like in other CAD software: line types are a property apart.

It's not really universal that all other CAD software has line types only as an individual separate property, for example in AutoCAD the line type can be set on the layer and then applied to objects by their layer assignment...

Is there some particular reason why it would be helpful to have line types as a separate thing from styles? It seems like it would make sense in general if styles controlled things related to the visual display of the object, which seems related to line width and line types.

No reason actually, it's just that I am used to ArchiCAD for 2D drawing. It's fine for me to be a property of the style.
In AutoCAD, it can be set both as property of the layer, or individually on each element.
I know it's not a top-priority request, but thank you for your help!
Max.

Hello everyone,

I too am in need of a "Dotted Line" Style for architectural drawing purposes.

Was something ever implemented for this?

Sorry no, line styles are not fully implemented in MoI v4. It's something that I do want to add in the future but for now you would need to apply those in a 2D illustration program.
