Simple Linetype issue, need help!!!

Sorry to sound like a noob, but I can't seem to find a fix for this issue.

I have a base drawing that is xref'd into multiple alignment sheets. The linetypes on the base vary such as center of road, water lines, gaslines and such. All of my linetypes have the same Ltscale of 150.00 and all show up correct in paperspace except for one that comes out as a continuous line. and no matter what I have tried, it doesn't change.

 Any suggestions?

 

My settings for all polylines are:

color: by layer

linetype: by layer

linetype scale: 150.00

lineweight: by default

global width: 1.0

elevation: 0.000

The scale on the alignment sheets is 1"=500'

 

Thanks,

Harry

Try PSLTSCALE = 0

Hi Steve,

 Thanks, but the PSLTSCALE is already set to 0, any other suggestions?

 

I have already tried setting psltscale at 0 and 1, and also adjusting the ltscale from 1 to 500 with no success, that is why this has me stumped.

For the most-common usage, you would have all your object linetype scales set to 1.  Then set MSLTSCALE = 1, PSLTSCALE = 1, and LTSCALE = 1 or LTSCALE = 0.5.

Double check the *.lin file to make sure it has the correct data assigned to that linetype.

Since the alignment sheets were not recognizing that linetype from the xref, I did a  simple copy/paste on a portion of the line into modelspace which inserted the linetype into the drawing.
