Dashed/Dotted Lines As Segments

Converts dashed and dotted lines into individual line segments
Default: off

Engineering drawings use different line styles that have different meanings associated with them. Both PDF and DXF support a number of them. Unfortunately, their definitions do not always match. pdf2cad attempts to map PDF line styles to their DXF equivalent as accurately as possible.

Choosing Dashed/Dotted Lines As Segments will break dashed/dotted lines into individual line segments. Note that it will be harder to edit these lines in your CAD environment since the segments are no longer connected.

Note: if your line styles do not map correctly and you need them reproduced as complete lines in DXF using the same style, please send a sample PDF file with those line styles to us at support@pdf2cad.com. We will add the correct line style mapping to the next release of pdf2cad.
