LTS 1

[SeanSweeney]

So basic that it seems rather silly. Is it possible to retain LTS value for a drawing. Everytime I change it and reopen the drawing its back to where I was before. Using publish the original LTS value is used and my dashes are continuous lines.

To confuse things the drawing I am frustrated with was set up as LTS 0,5 and is now 500. I presume its a units problem?

And last of all has the search function on this forum died? I get no returns for LTS, Autocad etc. seems odd.

Cheers. Sean.

Sean ...Are you using the model space/ paper space features?

 

[SeanSweeney]

Are you thinking about PSLTscale or something else?

Either way, is it possible to lock/save the LTS value for a drawing?

Cheers. Sean.

Sean ...Sometimes the computer get lazy, and will shown dashed lines as continuous line type. You just need to hit the "REGENALL" command and it will re-fresh the dwg. file to all the lastest settings. The LTS scale should not change on it's own. Good Luck!

If you are in paper space, sometimes you have to double-click the viewport and do a regen, then go back to paper space to see the correct linetype display. I only adjust LineTypeScale in paper space, and in the _linetype dialog box, [show details] have the "Use paper space units for scaling" box checked.

Not sure if this helps, but if you're using paper space you can set PSLTSCALE=0 so that the linetype appears the same in paper space and model space.

There is also a CELTSCALE variable that controls the scaling of new lines. You can search ACAD help for either varibles to get more info.

If you do what Farmboy71 says,ie,PSLTSCALE=0 do a regen afterward but make sure that you have clicked the model folder first.
