Problem with linetype scale

[a3dtot]

I have a drawing that when I set the ltscale to 1 as it should be it does not show up correctly. To get the correct look the line scale needs to be set to 0.07. I have set the ltscale correctly and changed the line to the correct linetype and it still won't change. I can't think of another setting that would do this. Any suggestions. The viewports are not locked, dimscale is set correctly. I'm at a loss.

Re-load the line type, even though it is already loaded.

Sorry should have said I already tried that. I am very experienced but stumped on this one. I even copied the line and pasted in a different drawing and it worked correctly. It is some kind of setting (setvar) in the (corrupted) drawing. But thanks for the try. I would attach the drawing but not allowed.

Use List on the line to verify that the endpoints are at the same Z value. What linetype is it? Is it one of the ISO linetypes?

Tried that as well even drew new lines. Also created a new layer and still the same. For some reason the ltscale (which is set to 1.0) is being overridden by some other setting. I noticed it with my "CL" layer (layer name: CL Color: Bylayer (layer color "M") LAYER LINETYPE: Center2 (0.5x Center)) first but it is also the case with my hidden layer as well. Thanks for the attempt. I found one cure, but not really, I simply xref'd the 3D model into another drawing and the lines work well but I want to be able to fix this problem. Luckily I lose very little work on this particular drawing but if it happens on a more detailed drawing I need to know the fix and also so I can tell my people what to avoid. Also all viewports and layers are unlocked.

Sounds like CELTSCALE is set to something other than 1. Change that and draw another line. Existing lines will have to be adjusted through properties.

Tried that one too and no change. I've gone through everything I could think of and even used the help. I searched through the setvars to see I could spot something. No luck. Like I said I'm stumped on this one. Just thought for my first post I would make it a really hard one.

Just post a drawing with one or two lines showing the behavior, we don't need the whole drawing. The guessing game gets old.

Sorry about that you're right. Here it is.

Try also Psltscale in viewport

I believe someone loaded an iso linetype(s) and then renamed them in the drawing to the regular names. If you reload all the non-iso linetypes then new lines on those layers will display properly. This is why it fixes it when you xref the file.

You appear to be drawing in Paper space in a viewport with a scale of 0.0015748.

 

Perhaps if you were to draw in model space, it would be much easier to sort out your linetype scaling.

Thanks BIGAL I gave it a try and no luck. One of my draftsman did this and has no idea how and neither do I. I've been using AutoCAD for 26years and I am stumped I did a work around (put the model in a different drawing and no problems) Like above I just want to know what this is so that if it happens again I'll know how to fix. I'm an old hand and use very little of AutoCAD's built in mostly custom so I won't run into these types of things. Thanks again for all the help.
