If step 2 above doesn’t work, these values might have been changed to 0… check these variables. These variables are related to annotation scaling.
There is two more system variable that controls the linetype appearance: MSLTSCALE and PSLTSCALE. Change the LTSCALE to a higher or lower value. However, you may need to adjust the linetype size. If you started with the right template, 1 in most cases is acceptable. The main system variable that controls the linetype scale is LTSCALE. Many things in AutoCAD are controlled by system variables. But if you want to control your line type scale further, check step 3. Very easy, isn’t it? In a common situation, we only require to do those two steps. See that the line type appears exactly at the same size on both viewports! The left viewport is shown on a 1:100 scale, while the right one in 1:50. These two viewports below are showing identical objects. The nice thing about annotation scaling is: it has the intelligence to show how your objects should look like in different scales. You may need to REGEN your drawing before seeing the effect. It’s at the right bottom of the AutoCAD window.Ĭhange to the value to the size you want to plot it. If you don’t see the linetype don’t worry. Especially if you already define your own template. Yes, you can change the units later, but you can save a lot of time when you use the right template. If you use imperial, then use the imperial template.
If you work with metrics, use the metric template. It’s as easy as 1,2,3! Step 1: Use the Right AutoCAD Template It is not that hard at all when you know what controls the linetype appearance. We have them correctly in our model, but they are all gone in our viewports! Sometimes we end up doing a trial and error (again) to get it right. How to get the correct linetype scale for our AutoCAD drawings? Why my linetype is not showing, just continuous lines? Sometimes we also have a hard time when setting viewport in layout. Controlling the linetype scale can be confusing.
