I have loaded an insulation linetype and I needed to make the ltscale of that line .194 in the linetype manager so that it would fit in my 3.5" walls.

I would like my insulation linetype to always be drawn at .194 ltscale. All of my other lines/linetypes I would like to stay at 1.00

When I changed the linetype scale of the insulation to .194 every other ltscale went with it.

Is it possible to change one ltscale independently of all your other linetypes?

I am selecting only that linetype (insulation) in the linetype manager and changing the current object scale to .194.

Every lintype I have is changing to .194 when I do this.

Where did you change the linetype scale, in the properties box?
What version of AutoCAD? The reason I am asking is because I would like to try to recreate this. I did this for a side job not just a week or so ago and I change the batt. insul. LT scale to .18 and the rest as stayed as they should have been.

I changed it in the Linetype manager. If I do it there, then every linetype I have is changed to .194 or whatever I use.

If I do it in properties then only that one layer is changed.

I am using properties atm until I find a better way
