What should my Ltscale be?

What should my Ltscale be?

As a general rule: the LTSCALE should be set to half of your drawing “scale factor” in order to see your dashed lines to appear correctly. In the animated picture, my drawing “scale factor” is set to 48 so I set my LTSCALE to 24 and then I was able to see my dashed lines in model space.

How do you show linetype in paper space in AutoCAD?

Enter LINETYPE to open Linetype Manager. Click Show Details. Deselect Use Paper Space Units for Scaling. Click OK….Solution:

1. Enter REGEN after changing these variables.
2. The PSLTSCALE variable may have different values for each layout.
3. Turn off the paper space units option for linetypes:

How do you change Ltscale in paper space?

Type PSLTSCALE in the Command line, and type 1 when prompted to Enter a value. The linetype scale of this Viewport (in Paper Space) will now match the linetype scale you’ve already set in the original drawing (in Model Space).

What does Ltscale 1 represent in AutoCAD?

The LTSCALE system variable is used to control the global linetype scale factor in the drawing. Changing this scale factor, the appearance of linetypes in the drawing also changes. For example, an LTSCALE setting of 1 means that the dash length specified in the linetype definition is read directly as drawing units.

What does the Ltscale command do?

Sets the global linetype scale factor. Use LTSCALE to change the scale factor of linetypes for all objects in a drawing. Changing the linetype scale factor causes the drawing to be regenerated.

How do I adjust my Ltscale?

To set the linetype scale at the keyboard, follow these steps:

1. Type LTSCALE (or LTS) and press Enter. AutoCAD responds with a prompt, asking you for the scale factor.
2. Type the value you want for the linetype scale and press Enter. The easiest choice is to set the linetype scale to the drawing scale factor.

Which property is used to stretch and compress a linetype?

When you create geometry, the current object scale value becomes the object’s linetype scale property. You can change the linetype scale of an existing object in the Properties palette. The linetype scale for objects is based on both the global scale factor, and the linetype scale property.

When working in a layout of a viewport is activated and unlocked?

Q12. When working in a layout, if a viewport is activated and unlocked and you accidentally zoom in or out, what happens to your viewport scale?

• The viewport scale changes to the next available standard scale.
• Nothing.
• The viewport scale returns to the default 1:1 scale.

What is the default value for the Ltscale command?

By default the linetype scale is set to 1.00.

What is ltscale in AutoCAD?

The initial value of LTSCALE is 1. Use LTSCALE to change the scale factor of linetypes for all objects in a drawing. Changing the linetype scale factor causes the drawing to be regenerated. PSLTSCALE – Paper Space LineType Scale – Controls linetype scaling of objects displayed in paperspace viewports.

What is the difference between psltscale and ltscale?

With paper space that variable can be more constant and easier to manage. If Psltscale is set to 0, the line type scale for each object is controlled by the Ltscale value. If Psltscale is set to 1 then the line type scale for each object is scaled according to the paper space drawing units.

How do I force ltscale?

You can force an individual elements LTSCALE with this setting. The Global Scale Factor value controls the LTSCALE system variable, which changes the linetype scale globally for both new and existing objects. The Current Object Scale value controls the CELTSCALE system variable, which sets the linetype scale for new objects.

What is the gap between two lines in ltscale?

When this linetype is drawn, it will have a dashed segment 12.7 units long with a gap of 6.35 units. If the LTSCALE system variable is then changed to 10, the line will be drawn ten times the scale, that is, 127 units long with a gap of 63.5 units.
