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 hopefullyStephen

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 battyStephen

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".

Hmm, so no joy in that area. My MSLTscale appears to be set to 0 though - can I hope that that is wrong and that it should be the same as the PSLTscale? please, please, please say yes!!

Mine is set to "1" at the moment.  Sometimes I set it to 0.5 if the mood suits me.Got to go.  Good luck.

OK, I'll try setting it to 1.What's the basis of your moods, though? And if you set the MS to 0.5 do you have to adjust the PS one as well or do you leave it at 1?

Either way, it made no difference. The PS is still showing scant regard for whatever I show in MS

Have you tried finding/using another batt insulation linetype or lisp routine?  Maybe you'll have better luck.

Thanks John - any chance of recommending where I go to get another batt line-type or lisp routine (you'd then have to be kind enough to point me in the direction of how to operate these - which I would quite understand you drawing the line at)Regards

I would search using the following criteria:"autocad"+"linetype"+"batting"or"autocad"+"batting"+"lisp"Lisp routines can be loaded using the APPLOAD command.
