A: Set the variable PSLTSCALE (Paper Space Linetype Scale) to <0>, then REGEN, to accomplish the task shown in the second illustration. MEMO: Curiously, this variable is layout-specific. That means you will have to set the PSLTSCALE variable on each layout tab of the drawing.
Splines and polylines are NOT affected. What I have discovered is that setting SHADEPLOT to Hidden in the MVIEW command (MVIEW / Shadeplot / Hidden) and selecting the viewport will cause the hidden line in the circle and the arc to print as a continuous line. This behavior is new to me in AutoCAD 2010 (we skipped 2008 and 2009 here).
How to scale linetypes in layout viewports?

You can set the PSLTSCALE system variable to maintain the same linetype scaling for objects displayed at different zoom factors in the layout (paper space) and in the layout viewport (model space).
