In AutoCAD 2004 if I set both the LTSCALE and PSLTSCALE to 1, my lines would appear at the proper scale in paper space irregardless of what the viewport scale was. 3D 2007 doesn't seem to do this properly, I have to go in and adjust the line type scale to make the lines appear as desired in the viewport. Were am I going wrong? What if I need to have have two viewports at different scales on the same sheet?
I set my LTscale to my intended plotting scale (1"=50', or what ever) PSLTscale to 0, paperspace plot scale to 1"=1'. All I ever have to change is the LTscale from drawing to drawing which can be done at the same time as setting the drawing scale.
It works, just used it today. I usually do as MMccall does with my ltscale at 1.5x's the dwg scale. So if I have my psltscale to 1, my ltscale is 1.5.

I use Ltscale=1 and PSltscale=1. If I have two viewports at different scales the line dashes are the same length in paper space. Have you tried a Regenall command?

Ahhh, I see. I don't do a lot of multiple scale stuff within the same drawing. Most of my scale changes are done with a separate drawing with the bulk of the information xreffed in and the separate drawing then has it's own LTscale setting.
I don't have a long term relationship with Autodesk products (only back to C3D 05) so posted questions like this make me rethink some of the decisions I made back when I was struggling to figure out which end was up.
So, it looks like either way works fine depending how you want to use the information in your drawing files and a bit of personal preference.
