Thanks for the great tutorial. Does the linetype scale need to be changed for every line individually at every scale, or can they be annotated? In other words, if I draw in dashed lines in model space at 1:100 and switch to a 1:50 layout, do I need to change every dashed line? Thank you.

Finally a video without a broken english.

Thank you very much Brandon. Question: do I need to turn on ltype generation for every line I have on the drawing or this applies automatically?

Is it possible to have two different lts in seperate paperspace view ports

[husnainlotia]

Hi. I understand changing the scale of the linetype, but can this be annotative to remain the same visibly even with scale changes. Particularly in paper space.

This video aged line wine. this is exactly what I needed to know! Thanks you so much! Subscribed.

Hi your videos are super helpful!!! For some reason my lineweights print differently than what they are assigned in plot styles. What to do to make them the same?

[Arwaseem]

What is the relation of light type scale in tab drawing(worksheet) rather its in the mks and fps in autocad, please tell us how autocad works rather im changing the scale 1:30, 1:50, and so on.

Can we change linetype in surface created for contours?

[bdcarlitosway]

In model space and paper space my lines look good for 1/8'' and 1/4'' scale but when I publish it to PDF and print preview, they show up as solid lines. Any ideas?

[carloschacin-ub]

hello i created a a line type and sometimes the letter like the catv you have ont his video come out upside-down how to I change this ?

[TANGO]

Thanks for your good work.


I'm in AutoCAD 2020 LT.


My line type scale settings appear to be changed without my setting them.


Continuous lines are all given a .3 setting.


Is there a base line, default condition, for line type scale settings for various types of continuous and intermittent lines?

[danafeeney]

Hey, I have tried your suggestions and a few others but none are working. any thoughts?

[cwiklolo]

Definitely taking note of the pedit > L > o. Thanks for sharing. Would you know how to accomplish a similar task but for plotting? I designed for a 1"-20' scale for my design sheets, but for my cover page, I'm at a 1"-120'. When I go to plot, all the line thicknesses bleed too big. I'm looking for a quick way to scale down/ thin out the lines during the plot process without having to go to each layer and change the plot color in the .ctb file.

Hi,

Thanks for useful video.

Do you know how to reset lines scale in Page view ? I scaled up, but not sure hot to get back to normal now.

I have an issue with my line types not showing up to equal scale when working with an xref. How do I get my line types to stay the same in both the xref and drawing new layers?

[phoebepron]

Thank you so much!!! I've been going through this trouble a lot of times but I just couldn't figure it out. So, thank you for the quick yet meaty tutorial!

My Linetype scale is not changing even though its changed in properties

[janmalecek]

Hello, Brandon. Would you know Please, how to resolve problem: in Xref lines are ok, but whem I switch to main drawing lines became to be read in wrong scale.it is like main drawing has different ltscale than the x- ref but this is imposible in Autocad 2011. What to do? do not have idea? thank you for consideration. Jan

What about 3d polylines? Is there a way to fix how they display?
