AutoCad 2D :: Linetype Scale System For Center And Hidden Types
Feb 23, 2012
I have been adopting a linetype scale system for CENTER & HIDDEN types that works perfect on one drawing but not in another.
Here it is:
Globally,
Measurement:1
MSLTSCALE:1
PSTLSCALE:1
CELTSCALE:1
LTSCALE:1
CENTER lines are scale 0.1 (works fine in all drawings and in both 1:30 and 1:4 viewports)
HIDDEN lines are scale 0.3 (work in one drawing but failed in the second drawing in both 1:30 and 1:4 viewport)
Setting the HIDDEN lines to 10 works with most other drawing.
I want to know first of all why this setting of 0.1 CENTER and 0.3 HIDDEN works on one drawing and not on another one in spite of the general settings set alright.

I'm very new to AutoCAD but now I'm using LT 2014.
I'm trying to change my linetype from solid to hidden, and I've checked the properties, changed the linetype on my toolbar above, ensured the scale is set to 1, and zoomed in to make sure the scale is correct. I've unlocked all the layers, and checked all my different spaces to see if maybe there was a glitch that just wasn't showing the change in linetype. Nothing!
The properties for my linetype show me that the line is a dotted (hidden) line, but the line itself doesn't show as hidden.

Im trying to make a linetype that is hidden with text in it. Is that possible? Ive got all my linetypes customized with text, but trying to make them on a hidden linetype is tricking me.

I need a wall fill pattern that displays as a hidden linetype...in other words, like a polyline with a global width of 5" with a hidden linetype. Is this possible with an AEC wall?
This is obviously a commonly used drafting standard for fire-rated walls or other wall types, so I'm sure it has been addressed by Autodesk, I just cant figure out how to get the wall type.

I've created my first line type (woohoo!) but the rotated V that I used as an "arrow" won't center and I'm having a difficult time understanding why so that I can fix it. I am aware that linetypes like the one I created exist but I wanted the arrows a specific size and distance apart which I couldn't do with the existing linetypes available to me (also I really wanted to try creating a custom one).
In the attached picture:
-the green line is the finished custom linetype
-the red lines are polylines
-the blue text is rotated 90 degrees, set to a text style titled Linetype (simplex font, not annotative, height set to 0 and width set to 1.0), and Justify set to Bottom Center
linetypes-Model.pdf
The finished linetype code is:
*STREAM_LINE_W_ARROW_BIG,Stream_Line_W_Arrow_Big
A,.392629,["V",Linetype,y=-.07619,s=.2,u=90],.207371,-.144393,.011213,-.138787,.011213,-.138787,.011213,-.144393,.392629,["V",Linetype,y=-.07619,s=.2,u=90],.207371
Also, this the first time I've attached a picture, I'm not sure that I did it correctly.

When I draw a line at my template it always has the line type scale 5 as default under properties.
I know that I can chance this by hand or chance a basic line type scale with the command "lts".
But all the lines in the drawings of our partner have the line type scale 1 under properties. So if I used "lts", there would either my lines or their lines be scaled wrong. Also I don't want to chance the default line type scale of each line by hand.
Is there a possibility to set up something that each line I'm drawing, starts with a specific line type scale as default under properties?

I want to change my ground conductor from solid green to a dashed line (green is OK) on a set of drawings, but all the dashed linetypes I can find don't show up well at the scale that I've drawn the circuits. I can make them look OK by changing the linetype scale in the properties manager window, but there are a boatload of these lines in eight viewports; finding them all would be a major pain. They are all on a single layer, though, but in the layer properties manager I do not see a way to change the linetype scale for the layer. I could use the properties manager to make the change if I could select everything on the layer. Is there a way to do that?

Same linetype and linetype scale but different appearance!
I got the linetype Dot2 with linetype scale 0.02
The linetype Dot2 with 0.02 linetype scale appears in two different ways!

I'm using AutoCAD LT 2007 and have a problem with linetype between two drawings. I have a standard key which I use on a number of drawings, problem is when I copy from my original file (in model space) to paper space on another drawing the linetype isn't viewed the same.
I've set LTSCALE to 1. PSLTSCALE to 0, Global scale factor to 1 in both files but still no joy.

Im using LT 2012 & have an issue with a few drawings.
Example:I draw a single line & set to 'Dashed' (or any other type). If i then rotate that line the linetype scale changes to a very small dash & the actual scale of the line changes. rotate it abit more & it will change again.

I have loaded an insulation linetype and I needed to make the ltscale of that line .194 in the linetype manager so that it would fit in my 3.5" walls.I would like my insulation linetype to always be drawn at .194 ltscale. All of my other lines/linetypes I would like to stay at 1.00
When I changed the linetype scale of the insulation to .194 every other ltscale went with it. Is it possible to change one ltscale independently of all your other linetypes?

I have a problem between my template in inch and the one in mm.
Its the linetype scale that is wrong in the mm one, when i draw in the inch one, everything is fine but when i draw in the mm one, i have to set the ltscale to like 25 to see them at the same scale that they are in the inch one.
My guest is its because i've create my template for the mm one base on the inch one and i just change the unit type to mm. Is there a setting i could change that will arrange this?

I work very closely with a customer, and have been asked to implement their drafting standards for a dwg file they received from another vendor. I have attached two drawings, 1 (their vendor's) and 2 (mine, in progress). When opened, I notice the linetype scale *appears* different between the drawings (note the differences within "LINE LEGEND" section of both drawings). It *appears* as though Drawing 2 has double the linetype scale of Drawing 1.
I realize that within Drawing 2 I could set the LTSCALE variable to 0.5, but that seems like a work-around and may cause problems with other aspects of the customer's drafting standards in the future.
I've already confirmed that both drawings have the same values for LTSCALE, PSLTSCALE, MSLTSCALE, CELTSCALE. I've also already confirmed that, for the "PACKAGED EQUIPMENT" entry with the legend, the properties dialog box shows the exact same values for all fields. Lastly, (trying [URL] .....) I re-loaded the linetype for PHANTOM2.
I'd like to have them both appear the same, if possible.

I'm drawing a gas line (the one that says gas throughout the length of the line) and i can't seem to scale the text 'gas' properly, it seems that it is all squashing up and i cant make out what it says. I've tried ltscale, psltscale and the actual linetype scale of the line to no avail. I'm sure this is a simple problem, i just cant work it out.

I have a drawing (attached) with the following settings: LTSCALE = 1, MSLTSCALE = 1, PSLTSCALE = 1.For some reason the linetype is not scaling based on the annotative scale. It will update correctly if I change the LTSCALE but for some reason it wants to ignore the MS and PSLTSCALE variables.
As a note, the drawing was converted from a Microstation drawing and the linetype is a converted Microstation linetype.Is there something in the linetype that is doing this.

I'm sure I had linetype scaling updating automatically after a change of viewport scale - perhaps it was a previous release of AutoCAD. Why must I now keep pressing REGENALL to update the linetype scale?

I’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).

Quicker way to change the overall linetype scale than using the 'modify properties' dialogue box that comes with Autocad 2008? I've attached an image that specifically shows what I am trying to change, but I get tired of always having to scroll down in the box to find this variable. I would love to have something simple like the old DDCHPROP dialogue box (see smaller image). LISP routine or something where I click on the toolbar button, and simply change the overall scale without having to navigate through the native one?

I'm trying to plot 3D objects with hidden lines. I've set the viewport SHADE PLOT property to "Legacy hidden" and set my visual style to 2D Wireframe with 2D Hide-Occluded Lines linetype set to "Dashed". The hidden lines do appear, but I don't like the size and spacing of the dashes. Is there a way to add "Hidden" linetype to the selected visual style? Or perhaps there's a way of adjusting the linetype scale for visual style occluded lines (similar to LTSCALE or PSLTSCALE command)?

Take a look at a sample diagram I've created for my company. I'm torn on what scale or even what units I should be using, since I am not drawing real objects. When I took an entry level class, it was so much easier doing the assignments because we used a scale that made sense based on what we were drawing.

I was recently setting up a new install of Civil 3D 2012 and was going to set the default coordinate system to 3TM (CM=114°W) when I realized the scale factor was set to 1.0 at the central meridian.
It should be 0.9999. I checked some others and they are all the same. I also checked the 6TM projection and it is also set to 1 although it should be 0.9992
Below is the WKT(ESRI) out of Civil for EPSG code 3401:
PROJCS["CANA83-10TM115",GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983",DATUM["D_North_American_1983",SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137.000,298.25722210]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",0.000],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.000],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",1.000000000000],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-115.00000000000000],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",0.00000000000000],UNIT["Meter",1.00000000000000]]
Looking up the .PRJ for EPSG 3401, the published standard is:
PROJCS["NAD83 / Alberta 10-TM (Resource)",GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983",DATUM["D_North_American_1983",SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137,298.257222101]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],PARAMETER["central_meridian",-115],PARAMETER["scale_factor",0.9992],PARAMETER["false_easting",0],PARAMETER["false_northing",0],UNIT["Meter",1]]

Using: Land Desktop Companion 2009
Issue: Imbeded text in Linetype is automatically orienting the top of the text toward the center of the arc. I have tried to "reverse polyline" to fix this, but the text will not change. Is there a line property that I am missing that will allow the text to orient itself as readable from arc Point of begining to the end?

I have an issue with linetype scale. I have a certain part of my drawing with dash lines at a linetype scale of 1000. In Model space it is fine but when I change to Paper Space the lines become solid. I have tried increasing the linetype scale in Model space to compensate for the scale in Paper space but the lines are still solid.
