is this possible?

[Anonymous]

is it possible to have a layer that will automatically change it's ltscale
(of all it's lines) to let's say 0.5......then on different layers have
different ltscales for that certain layer? I know I change the ltscale of
any line by going to properties, but i was wondering if autocad can
automatically do it for me.

Thanks in advance
Ryan

if you must do this...wait till your draiwng is done and then use the filter
command to go thro all objects on each layer and change the lt scale that
way....or you can create a lisp/vba that will go thro each layer and change
it for you at a push of a button.

thanks for everyones help, but what I did was edit my linetypes (acad.lin)
file so that all linetypes are roughly equal, therefore I don't have to ever
change my ltscale. Pretty clever, eh? Actually not really, it's sort of
trial and error, an believe me there are lots of errors!
Thanks Again

Ryan hi again,

I feel that I need to warn you against doing what you said.
Changing the definitions of the standard Linetypes in acad.lin could create
a big mess when you move files to and from different workstations or
organizations.
I think adding more definitions (With new names for new linetypes) is much
better. Then, when you need to send a file to someone else you eTransmit the
file with all relevant files.

That is what I did acutally, I am in the process of renaming/scaling the
linetypes to suit. Then I'll save as Office Standard Linetypes.
Thanks for your concern.

Ryan,

As far as I know this is impossible.
But I have an idea you might try:
You can define different Linetypes that have the same apearance but with
different sizes (- - - - - -, -- -- -- -- --, --- --- --- ---) and
use them with each layer. This way you don't have to change Linetype scale
all the time.
