Running Carlson 2020 with AutoCAD 2019 on a Win10 computer.
Yesterday I opened a drawing to do the drafting on a lot as-built survey. The F2F had been processed a couple of months ago starting with our standard drawing template, the surface built and contours drawn. As I was working on the drawing, I noticed that the line types were not displaying properly. Everything looked "Continuous". I zoomed out, and drew a line about 1000' long, and the line type displayed. It appeared that there was a problem with the line type scaling. I checked all the settings I could think of, and everything looked OK. So, I created a new drawing from our template, and inserted the problem drawing. Viola, the line types all looked correct. In the Drawing Setup dialog, the "Horizontal Scale" and "LTSCALE" are both set to 30. "Line Type Scaler" is set to 1. Worked on the drawing for another 45 minutes, saved, and exited the program. Start the program this morning, open my drawing, and the line type scale issue is there again. Anybody have any ideas about this?
?ÿ
Probably not the issue, but is the, Use paper space units for scaling, box checked?
Check box is clear.
Check your annotation scale on the lower right side of the screen.?ÿ Sometimes it doesn't update when you make changes in Drawing Setup.?ÿ Also, sometimes a regen is all that is needed, but you've probably tried that.
@stephen-ward That was set to 1:40. I re-set it to 1:30, and regenned. No difference. Also, AUDIT has not found any errors.
Do you have another computer with?ÿ ACAD on it??ÿ Does it have the same problem with this dwg?
psltscale to "0"?
@flyin-solo Yes, it is. In my paper space layout, the line types look correct. I'm having the issue while working in the model space tab.
@peter-lothian just thought i'd check.?ÿ another one i've had that happen with was the whole dview camera thing.
Check the MSLTSCALE value.?ÿ Set it to "0"?ÿ See https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Linetype-Scale-MSLTSCALE-and-PSLTSCALE.html for a deeper understanding of how MSLTSCALE, LTSCALE, PSLTSCALE interact.
@stephen-ward Winner-winner, chicken dinner! That fixed it. Don't know why it kept changing with this drawing, but now I know what to do if it switches again.
Thanks a bunch for all the suggestions, Gang.
@peter-lothian I knew I had experienced the same issue.?ÿ It just took a bit of Googling to find the setting that would cause it. Glad to have helped.
PS. The key was knowing that they were displaying correctly in Paperspace.?ÿ That flipped a switch in my head that lead me to the correct setting.
Pshew, I was gonna show my ignorance and suggest changing the annotative scale to 1:1. ?ÿHa! ?ÿThat was a close one. ?ÿ(Was that out loud?)
3D Linework will not display.?ÿ Flatten the linework to 2d and problem solved.
