AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Text And Linetype Scales In Paper Space
Jun 6, 2013I am using Civil3D 2011 and I am working on 1:1 model space scale. When I go to paperspace and open a scaled viewport, the texts and linetype scales change. What can i o to make them look the same as in model space?

Jun 15, 2012I am using Map 3D 2013
I have several drawings in which I want to use a line type (centrex2) at a specific scale. The scale setting is exactly the same in all the drawings but in some the line type is coming out at different scales, all larger, but not the same or to a set factor. All the entities in question are poly lines (2d).
I have checked in all drawings that:
global scale factor and current object scale in the line type manager are the same (1.0)drawing units are the same (unitless)‘use paper space units for scaling’ is always deselected line type generation is always enabled.
AutoCad 2D :: Multiple Linetype Scales
Jan 14, 2013We deal with multiple architects at our company, all of whom have different standards for their Linetype Scales (on a drawing at a scale of 1/8"=1'-0" some use 36, others 24 etc).
We need to take their Architectural drawings, remove all of there dimension notes etc and create an empty floor plan we put our designs on.
The issue is that we cannot have all of our symbols work with one consistent linetype. We have to go into the block and manually overide the LTS of the individual item to suite the LTS of the architects drawing.
Is there a way we can insert the architect background as an x-ref and have the LTS of our drawing not effect it? Or possibly a LISP/Script that divides the individual LTS of all their entities by their global LTS so everything looks fine in our drawings.
We have had issues with annotative objects in the past with some of the architects drawings so that is not a viable option.
AutoCad :: Linetype Scales In Viewports?
Apr 11, 2012My linetypes show up way too big in my viewports at 1/8" scale as compared to my Model space. pslt and mslt both at 1, units are inches, global linetype scale at 80. What am I missing?

Mar 26, 2012Trying to set a Phantom line as the property line and also use dashed lines (ACAD_ISO03w100)
I can mess with the ltscale and make it so one or the other reads properly, but never both. The Phantom displays correctly at ltscale: 1, the dashed lines display when ltscale is .1 they are on different layers
AutoCAD 2010 :: Linetype Scales And Display?
Aug 12, 2013How do I set up a dwt so that linetypes appear the same no matter what the scale of the viewport. I tried AutoCad help but the recommended fix if I am reading it correctly is psltscale set to 1. That didnt work. We normally set our ltscale to 0.5. Should the scale of linetypes be controlled by the scale of the viewport? Isnt the scale of the viewport supposed to be multiplied by the ltscale so that the linetypes always appear the same no matter what the veiwport scale?

Sep 4, 2013When I draw say a dashed line in the model space it sometimes looks broken exactly how I would expect it to look. Yet when I then set the drawing up in a viewport within the paper space it looks like a continuous line. It also plots as a continuous line.
The only way I have found of working around this is to change the linetype scale of the line in question (usually to around 0.012) this then usually gets the line to display dashed as expected on the paper space. It is very trial and error though with different lines requiring different scales?
I wondered if there is a setting so that they display in the model space exactly as they would display in the paper space or vice versa?
AutoCad 2D :: Making Global Scale Factor And Linetype Scales?
Dec 3, 2013I’ve got a series of third party drawings that are quite intricate, with a series of nested blocks, some of which cannot be exploded.
The issue i have is that they have been drawn with a global scale factor of 1. Our office works with a global scale factor of 10.
Is there a quick and easy way to make the global scale factor 10, but then somehow retain the scale of the third party drawing lines so they retain their look?
Trying to avoid either just drawing with a global scale factor of 1 (which is a pain as all our blocks are set up for global scale factor of 10) or going into each of the bound xrefs and making all line scales 0.1 (mammoth task given the amount of drawings and all the nested/unexplodable blocks).

I just want to have the necessary scales, so don’t want to add to the template.

Example:
>Command line: setscale

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Editing Drawing Scales
Jun 14, 2013I am working in a drawing that had all archetectual scales. I Need to insert scales like 1"=30' and so on. Usually when i go to this menu i can simply add them, but in this drawing they arent there. I started this drawing using the relitivly blank template ACAD.dwt because i am trying to build a company template and did not want any trash.
How does autocad chooses wich scales to show. In drawing setting it is set to US Survey foot.
The link talks about the issue, but i really do not understand the results. [URL] ......

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Annotative Blocks With Several Different Scales
Nov 21, 2013We use a lot of annotative blocks with several different scales and often find that they have changed from thier standard names to several *u blocks that do not behave annotatively. I have to go in and explode them once or twice to get them back the right name and they show up as individual blocks in different scales. Is there a fix for this?

May 31, 2013C3D 2012 Sp3
I have a Dref alignment, samples lines, and an Xref'd corridor in a drawing. This drawing represents a base file for cross sections. The drawing scale is set to 1:10. I want my cross sections to be 10 horz. and 5 vert. I create the sections views in ths drawing, with sheet production on (A0 sized sheet) and they come in perfectly in model space. I then use the production tools and create the section sheets. Here s the problem: The viewport on the newly created section sheets has to be set to 1:100, not 1:10, in order for the sections to plot to the correct scale. Is the viewport ratio of 10 times smaller then the parent drawing (1:10) the correct way to create the sheets? I thought that the viewport scale should be equal to the parent drawing model space scale (1:10). My border in the template layout is sized in mm (A0).
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Dimensioning Disappear When Change Scales In Layout
May 14, 2013when I demension a drawing in model space, and then go to the layout where I have a viewport set up, if I change the scale for the viewport, the dimensioning disappears and I can't get it back.
This is a coworker's drawing, so I'll do my best to answer questions on how it was created.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Smart Structure Pipe Scales And Xref
Jan 24, 2011We set up our projects with a Topo sheet, a separate Design sheet, then a plot sheet with the drawing referenced in. The design sheet consist of basically all the design information unless this is a larger project, then the design components are given their own drawing file. Pretty industry standard, right?
The problem we are having is that the symbols are not scaling correctly for the plot sheets. I did some testing and the topo sheets are working as expected, but the "smart" pipes and structures are not from the design sheets. For the structures we are using a block for the plan view, and that is using the current drawing scale for the symbol size. But that is not carrying over to the plot sheet or viewport scale, it is locked to the scale of the saved Design drawing. So when plotting the project, half way through, people have to open the design drawing, change scale and resave to get the structures the right size for that sheet.
Do I have the structure style setup wrong? Shouldn't the symbol change to the plot sheets current view scale like a survey point?
I have played with making that plan block annotative but Civil 3D doesn't see a annotative block in the definition of a style.
I don't think that the network should have to be native to each plot sheet, but the only work around I have is to dataref the network into each plot sheet, and then have to freeze the xref's layers so there are not doubles.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Linetype Will Not Publish Correctly
Feb 20, 2013we use a custom treeline for all our drawings and as of late we can not publish this line type.

I checked the plot styles and it's set to use object linetype. Like I said though it only seems to have this problem when publishing the drawing
