I have no problem with plingen staying on. Most likely you have the wrong
scaling set on the linetype. When you set your linetype through the linetype
manager on the Standard Toolbar, there is the button to Show details. If you
click on it you are given the option to use paperspace scaling units or
model space. This caused me to almost give up on using plot map sets till I
figured that out. Check out some of the map areas at this web site. There
all done with a customised plot map set. It doesn't take long. One morning
and all the maps are updated. True they are crude and the base maps don't
quite jive with polygons but that is in the lack of quality in the
bases(free).
