 Topic: AutoCAD LT - linetype scales
Posted: 11.Feb.2014 at 16:50 |
Hi,I've been having problems getting Batting to function in different layouts. I understood that the linetype scale should be 1 in both model and paper space. However, whatever I put in the model space it never comes out the same in any paperspace layout, whether an A4 , A3 or A2. And it will be different again if I am looking at different x-refs in the paperspace sheet. Is there something I should be adjusting in my paper space so that they all automatically put the right scale of this linetype in. Nothing else suffers this problem, just bloody Batting. Yours hopefully Stephen

Are you using a batting linetype that comes with AutoCAD or from another source?

Thanks. I'm using the ordinary ACAD Batting

Minor correction; I'm running AutoCAD Architecture not LT. Oops

The only thing I can think of at the moment is a mix-up of sorts where the drawing is in metric units but the batting linetype was created in imperial units. I doubt it is the case though.

Thanks John, I'll try and check that out. I can't imagine it is the case though as we never worked in Imperial and the CAD manager who set it up was probably too young to have known what ft and ins were :) Stephen

Further to your comments yesterday, John, I have not been able to detect any connection to Imperial batting being the source of my woes. I have however, noticed that there seems to be a fairly regular x10 multiplication when I move from model to paper space. This seems to be complicated further dependent on the UCS of the paper space model but for now it seems to be that multiplication (scale?) factor that is the problem. But nothing else in the sheet is affected. In order to get round the problem, I keep having to go into the sheet and manually adjust the linetype scale for each individual section of batting so that it reads as I want it to in the paper space, then print the drawing and retreat because I know that any time I open that drawing again, it will have reverted to the wrong scale. Woefully going batty Stephen

Then there is something else going on we aren't aware of. The only scaling being applied should be LTSCALE, MSLTSCALE and PSLTSCALE.

Should the PSLTscale be set to 1 or 0; it's on 1 at the moment but I've never actually checked it before. Stephen

Mine is set to "1".
