Save ltscale

[Lukas_H]

Hi !

 

How can I save ltscale.

My problem is that i get ltscale=100 every time i open my drawing.

I need to get ltscale=1

LTSCALE is saved with a drawing (normal for this system variable). Not sure what is resetting this on you.

 

When did the problem first occur?

 

You say this happens only with this one particular drawing?

 

What is the source of the drawing?

It happend when I started a new template because there was some problem in the other one. Then when I saved the drawing i get ltscale 100 and then I have to change it everytime I open the drawing.

Maybe it's a template issue but I dont know how to change it when the .dwg i saved.

I dont really know what the problem can be.

You can use Ltscale system variable to change the global line-type scale setting. This affects all noncontinuous line types within the current drawing.

 

The default linetype scale setting for individual objects can also be set using the Celtscale system variable. Once set, only newly created objects are affected.

Edit the ltscale in you default template. (.dwt)

And save.

Thank for all the answers.

 

But how can I save it in a drawing that already exist ?

You must type LTSCALE at the command line and reset it. Then save your drawing.

1. I open a new drawing

2. I type ltscale in command line

3. I type 100

4. I Save it as test.dwg

5. Close the drawing

6. open drawing

7.type ltscale

8. ltscale is 1 but why i saved it as 100 ? (please can you test on you computer)

 

Thanks !!

I tested it using AutoCAD 2007.

I opened a new drawing.

I typed LTSCALE and noted that it was set to the default of "1.00".

I then reset it to "100.00".

I drew a circle.

I saved the drawing as LTSCALE.dwg and then closed the drawing.

I reopened the drawing and checked the value of LTSCALE.

It was "100.00". It did not reset to "1".

Works for me. Not sure why it does not work for you.

Could it be something in a acad.lsp or acaddoc.lsp or other lisp re-setting it?

• Check your ACADDOC.lsp (or maybe even ACAD.lsp), for anything that looks like:

(setvar "LTSCALE" 1)

 

And remove it.

 

And maybe add a line in your ACADDOC.lsp that displays:

 

(setvar "LTSCALE" 100)

 

• Alternatively, open your template drawing (dwt file), and set the LTSCALE in there, then re-save the template drawing (as a DWT file).
