linetype trouble

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I've recently updated a drawing from 2000 to 2008. Since I've done this, some of my linetypes keep changing back to dots. The stonewall, treeline and fence linetypes are the ones I'm having trouble with. I've tried reloading them several times but they keep changing back to dots.

Does anyone know what I can do to correct this?

Thanks,
Leigh

check the msltscale and psltscale variables. those variables affect the ltypes and scale and how they are drawn on the sheet, especially on viewports.

I use a lisp routine to reload my linetype each
time I open a dwg.  this has resolved the issue.  add this to, and
modify as necessary, your lisp routine that loads each time you open a
dwg.

(SETQ experto (GETVAR "expert"))
(SETVAR
"expert" 3)
(SETVAR "cmdecho" 0)
(PRINC "ACAD.LIN file ... ")
(COMMAND
"._linetype" "l" "*"  "H:/Library/Template/acad.lin" "")
(PRINC
"loaded")
(SETVAR "expert" experto)
(SETQ experto
nil)
(PRINC)

I would like to give credit to the individual who
originally posted this information, but don't remember who it was. 
Sorry
