linetypes

Using AutoCAD 2008

One of the CAD operators has an issue with line types in PS.

Dashdot line type was not showing up right in paper space, but other line type where ok.

Check the line type scale. Drawing Ltscale set to 1.

Regen in floating paper space.

She keeps playing with Line type Scale.

She ended up setting the line type scale to match the drawing scale 1/8”=1’-0”.

I have re-created the issue, but it didn’t do it to me.

I’m at a lost. Until I can get her off the workstation and see for my self!

I have had it happen to me before, but I changed the line type scale.

Has this happen to anyone else?

What is the PSLTSCALE set at?

PSltscale set to 1

Maybe this will help:

PSLTSCALE

ConceptProcedure[/url]Quick Reference

Type:IntegerSaved in:DrawingInitial value:1

Controls linetype scaling of objects displayed in paperspace viewports.

0

No special linetype scaling. Linetype dash lengths are based on the drawing units of the space (model or paper) in which the objects were created. Scaled by the global LTSCALE factor.

1

Viewport scaling governs linetype scaling. If TILEMODE is set to 0, dash lengths are based on paper space drawing units, even for objects in model space. In this mode, viewports can have varying magnifications, yet display linetypes identically. For a specific linetype, the dash lengths of a line in a viewport are the same as the dash lengths of a line in paper space. You can still control the dash lengths with LTSCALE

When you change PSLTSCALE or use a command such as ZOOM with PSLTSCALE set to 1, objects in viewports are not automatically regenerated with the new linetype scale. Use the REGEN or REGENALL command to update the linetype scales in each viewport.
