JWhelp Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hi all, I'm updating the office template to incorporate using viewbase with its line type scales. My setting are as per this article: (https://cadsetterout.com/autocad-tutorials/line-type-scales/) Suggested values: LTSCALE = 1.0 CELTSCALE = 1.0 PSLTSCALE = 1 MSLTSCALE = 1 The problem is, the default hidden and centreline linetypes only seam to work with ltscale = 10. I tried editing the acadiso.lin file by changing the dash/dot/space numbers by a factor of 10, but this didn't seam to work. Can anyone shed a bit of light on this? Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Have you tried to reload all the linetypes, even though they are already loaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWhelp Posted June 14, 2017 Author Share Posted June 14, 2017 Hi Eldon, Ok, I have reloaded all the linetypes. I have also managed to fine an equivalent hidden linetype: 'hidden2', which works fine as an equivalent to the viewbase linetype. Now i just need an equivalent to 'dashdot' with it's LTS overridden to 0.1. See attached. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldon Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I would suggest that you create your own linetype to suit. Whatever you do, I would suggest that you do not merely scale the linetype definition of a standard linetype, without calling it by a new name. Once a simple linetype is in a drawing, it stays in the drawing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, PSLTSCALE is set per Layout, you need to check the layout again. Only other reason this could happen is if you're using the wrong lin file. Ex. with a Metric drawing using Acad.lin or using Acadiso.lin with an Imperial drawing. On a Layout in Paper space do the linetypes work?
