Moving/copying causes lines to lose their linetype property

Post by JSHUK » Thu Jun 08, 2017 10:08 am

The title says it all, really. I've noticed that, when moving and/or copying an entity or group of entities, that for example, a line which has been given a "hidden" appearance, reverts to the basic continuous linetype after the move/copy function has taken place.
Using QCAD Pro 3.17.1.0 (3.17.1.1) on 64-bit Windows 7 Pro machine.

Make sure the option "Use current layer and attributes" is NOT checked in the options tool bar (or in the dialog if you are using a dialog):

Thanks, Andrew. That's where I was going wrong. All working as I expect it to, now.
