Publishing problems

Centerline shows as it should in the model tab but in the layout tab, it shows as a continuous line and plots and publishes as a continuous line

Hi,

Try to check PSLTSCALE (System Variable)

change it then REGENALL would be the next step to try after only just checking.

Also, what are your settings for LTSCALE and MSLTSCALE too please?

I have attached the file. You can check it now.

Both of them are 1 and REGENALL did not solve the problem.

/Go to your layout
/Lock viewport and go inside of it
/Use command PSLTSCALE
/Use REGEN while in viewport
/Exit viewport and REGEN again while on your layout
/Switch tabs and return to the tab

.//If modelspace is 1:1 and layout viewport is 1:1 it should work.

.//If modelspace is 1:1 and layout viewport is 1'=1/8"-0' keep in mind of your line pattern scales. You need to enlarge or make the linescale 0.0015 or 48 or 96. When I say "enlarge" I'm specifically talking about the linepattern not the object itself "Linetype Scale" in properties of the line. You may need to play around with show annotations too.

Did not work.

@2204008HBM8M ,

When you're in Model Space, See how your scale is set to 1:1?

Then, when you go to your Paper Space and enter your Viewport, See how your scale is set to something else?

...That is your problem. To fix it, do the following:

1) Set the scale inside your viewport to: 1/4" = 1'-0" (then, lock your viewport)

2) Then, go back to Model Space and set your scale to the same thing (1/4" = 1'-0")

3) Then run the REGEN command

4) Then, adjust your LineType Scale(s) to their appropriate sizes. I changed your centerlines to 0.2.

Best,

~DD

Perfectly solved. Thank you very much.

I got a feeling something is being represented to us incorrectly. You said "centerline", that term means a specific pattern + line + purpose. Are you not talking about a pattern, line, and purpose? Please describe "Centerline", you're not using the word "the" before saying "Centerline" so I assume we're thinking of it differently.

He showed you exactly by image what I typed out, and you said mine didn't resolve the problem. 🤣

I was accessing this page using my laptop then and it didn't show the lines beneath the "return to the tab" line. Now I am checking it from my phone and the rest of the instructions are showing here.

Re: Publishing problems

2204008HBM8M — Thu, 07 Nov 2024 21:08:23 GMT

Yes, I should have put that "the" there. Sorry for my mistake. English is not my native language, so I missed it.

Re: Publishing problems

I wasn't picking on your language because it works both ways. When you said what I listed didn't work I re-read your original post and noticed it without the word "the" at the start, so I started thinking you were talking about another object or block named "Centerline" and not the actual centerline pattern or feature. All good!
