sam_dubya Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Hi everyone, I have an issue with linetype scale. I have a certain part of my drawing with dash lines at a linetype scale of 1000. In Model space it is fine but when I change to Paper Space the lines become solid. I have tried increasing the linetype scale in Model space to compensate for the scale in Paper space but the lines are still solid can anyone help me please. Cheers Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadgad Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Are there any lines in modelspace which display as you would like the other lines to display? If so you can use the match properties command (type MA at the commandline) to assign those properties to the lines you want to change.

sam_dubya Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 The particular Lines are located in a block. Plus I cannot access the lines from paper space even when exploded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadgad Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Try using linetype scale of 1. Are the lines which you are trying to change in a block, or are the ones in the block the ones which you think look right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nestly Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 If you're using a LTSCALE of 1000, then your Modelspace scale must be about 1/1000 for the lines to display correctly. This is kinda an outdated practice that doesn't mix well when also using Paperspace/Layouts. I would recommend using; LTSCALE = 1 (or some prefer the way lines display at 0.5) MSLTSCALE = 1 PSLTSCALE = 1 CELTSCALE = 1 With those settings, lines should always display correctly regardless of the paperspace/layout scale. (regen is sometimes required after zooming to update the linetype generation) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Check also that the correct linetype (Metric-acadiso.lin or Imperial-acad.lin) is being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam_dubya Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 Thanks Nestly this way seemed to work for me the dashed lines are coming up in Paper space after doing this. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
