Hi guys,

i have a problem:
I have drawn a line (insulation), I scaled it so as I need it and it looks good. But in the layout window, where I have everything set for the printing (plot), there the line is so much bigger!! Why? And if I change the line in the layout window, it also changes in the "Model" and then do nothing fits together.
Cry
HELP!

Look at the system variables LTSCALE, PSLTSCALE and MSLTSCALE.

By the way, it is not the "type of the line" it's the scale of the line type.  There is a difference.

As mentioned before, it's all about PSLTSCALE variable.
In your case, if the scale of the line is OK in Model space, just run the command "PSLTSCALE" and the set it to 0 (zero).
Then check it in paper-space. If it still looks different, try the "REA" (regen all) command.
