i'm using CAD LT 08 and i know this might seem like a really stupid question but its been a few years since i touched CAD. cant seem to get my linetypes to show up in layout view. i can change the scale on the model thats fine, i can then see the difference between the different linetypes but it still doesnt show up in layout.......i've tried changing the linetype scale on layout but it's not working, the lines all look continuous....please help :(

Try variable [VAR]PSLTSCALE[/VAR], it switches between display tlscale in layout the same as in model space, and display the same ltscale for viewport with diferent scales. And [CMD]REGENALL[/CMD] after changing the variable.
