    Default Lt & Psltscales reverting

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I was using ACAD LT 2010, and recently switched to the full version. But now, all of my drawings have different ltscales than they used to (9.8 or 0.4). However much I change the scales and save, it always reverts back as soon as I switch from modelspace to a viewport tab, or change any linetype settings, etc. How do I get it to save my settings?

    Are you using metric or imperial linetypes?

    type MEASUREINIT at the commandline, press return, then F1 (or whichever button is assigned to your help files)

    MEASUREMENT typed at the command line will return 1 for metric and 0 for imperial.

    I was giving advice on how to find out the information that ReMark was asking you.

    I was hoping that now you had that information, that he would continue with your initial request.
