Help please - linetype problem.

[mark-f1]

Hi there I am fairly new to the site.

I have a slight problem with the linetypes. They are quite basic just a line space then arrow or zig zag. But randomly the odd one will have the arrow or zigzag offset itself from the line and change direction. I need to know how to rectify this and make the linetypes show the arrows in the right direction. I have tried redraw, match properties, regen and copy but the same problem keeps happening. I am using carlson 2006 which is similar to cad.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is Carlson built onto AutoCAD 2006?

Is it just because the occasional section of line is draw from R to L instead of L to R or vice versa?

Nope Originally thought that.

Unsure about Carlson only been using it 2 months, before that I used AutoCAD LT 04.

Thanks already for the quick replies .

Here's an example pic.
The line to the right with the arrow is wrong it should be like the "assumed line" one. I know how to alter the direction but its the linetype actually offsetting the arrow that I'm having problems with.

Looks like the linetype scale applied to the particular entities (in properties) is different here... could that be causing the error?

Can you make the pic a little larger? Have you checked that both have the same LTSCALE?

Try posting the .lin file for that linetype.

Just checked and there all at Scale 1.00 in properties, and LTSCALE of 2. Even when I change the Scale to 0.50 in properties the problem remains.

What AutoCAD version are you using?
