xcarpenter Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Hello, I am new at cad and I cannot figure this out. I have a floor plan that I drew in model space. I created a demo layer with the line type as hidden to show the objects that were to be removed. I then highlighted the objects that were to be removed, and " transfered" them to the demo layer. It works great in model space. In the view port of the layout , the objects look normal. The view point scale and annotation scales are the same and as I change 1, the other follows suite. I have been fooling with this for hours and cannot figure it out, I am sure this topic has been covered before, but would appreciate the help. Quote

There are several system variables you should check: LTSCALE controls the general line type scale MSLTSCALE and PSLTSCALE. If they have the same value, they should appear the same Annotation scale between viewport and model space. Same explanation as above. Quote
xcarpenter Posted June 11, 2010 Author Posted June 11, 2010 Edwin, The objects that appeared hidden in model space would not appear as hidden in the veiw port of the layout. Per your instructions I entered LTScale, the value was at 55.000, I set it to 1 and they now appear the same in both the veiwport and model space. Thank you!!!! Quote
edwinprakoso Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 I'm glad I can help... I tried to write this documentation: http://cad-notes.com/2010/06/controlling-linetype-scale-is-as-easy-as-123/ Probably can explain about linetype scaling further... Quote
xcarpenter Posted June 14, 2010 Author Posted June 14, 2010 That is very helpful, I used to modify the line scale in the property pallet. Now I know how to set the scale properly from the beginning. Quote
