CAD_n00b Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 My question starts... I have several hidden items on a wall that is 36'-0" high. I do not want to draw my details over again, I have drawn them all on the elevation and want to pull my details from the elevation (not a new drawing in model space). I want to use the same lines on a 3/32" scale as on a 1:1 scale. I also do not want to create a bunch of different layers with different linetype scales that i will hide per MVIEW. ie. if my layout page is 36x24, my 3/32" scaled drawing is 20" high, my 1:1 scaled drawing is 20", they are both are on the same layout page and both are referencing the same item in model space (1:1 is just zoomed in further than the 3/32") can I have the hidden lines displayed the same on my page? since the drawings are the same size on the page, I want the hidden lines displayed with the same amount of dashes regardless of how it is shown in model space. Is this Possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBox Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Try setting LTSCALE, MSLTSCALE, and PSLTSCALE == 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAD_n00b Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Try setting LTSCALE, MSLTSCALE, and PSLTSCALE == 1. does it matter if i type this model or paper space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBox Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Not at all; these are system variables that are saved in the drawing, so you'll need to make these changes in your template if you want them to be available automagically for all new drawings. Also note that you'll have to perform this task in any drawing that hasn't already been set this way... Many users do this within their AcadDoc.lsp file, so that it is set this way at drawing open, regardless of this being set in one's template previously (to ensure no accidental changes negatively affect one's drawing). Example: (vl-load-com) ;; Set system variables (foreach x (list '(ltscale 1) '(msltscale 1) '(psltscale 1) ;;<-- other sysvars here ) (vl-catch-all-apply 'setvar x) ) Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
