Hello.
I am working in C3D 2016. I noticed my linetypes were not correct. Our State DOT has standards for linetypes. After I did imported the standards and open the drawing I had some strange lines. I have my LTSCALE =1. MSLTSCALE=1, VSLTSCALE=1 and it has not changed. The biggest problem that only my computer have this issue. I attached pictures of what they look on my computer and on others.
Thank you

Hi,
Is it a line or polyline?
Check the thickness of the layer as well. Sometimes the same layers have different standard settings. I know - sound obvious but I catch myself many times on that ;)

aa: Please explain something to me.  If I give you a drawing where I have set the lineWEIGHT by layer and you open that drawing on your computer why/how would it appear differently unless you changed it or you had lineweight display enabled/disabled?  Additionally, if it is a pline the system variable PLINEWID is saved with the drawing and not in the Windows Registry.  How then does it automagically change when opened by another cad tech on a different computer?

mik29: What is VSLTSCALE?  When I type that in at the command line I get this:

Command: VSLTSCALE
Unknown command "VSLTSCALE".  Press F1 for help.

Could you have been referring to PSLTSCALE?

BTW...is Lineweight Display enabled?

So what happens if you toggle Lineweight off?

Do you utilize custom lisp routines that automatically load?
