Linetype scale issues

Anonymous — Mon, 15 May 2017 21:33:47 GMT

having not used Autocad for a while ( autocad 2012) I know have Autocad LT for MAC.

I seem to have forgotten how to get linetypes ie dashed and batting to look the right size in Model & Paperspace.

If its right in Model space It looks ridiculous in Paperspace & Vice versa.

I know there are now 4 different scales , can someone give me a clue?

I have attached an example

Thanks

Hi Garry,

Everything is correct with linetypes in the drawing you attached. You just need to use REGENALL after you switch to Layout to see dashed lines correctly.
In Model space use REGEN command when dashes are nit showing correctly.

Plus, you can use VIEWRES command to increase "zoom percentage" to maximum value - 20000 - as it also affects the appearance of linetypes in the drawing:

Command: VIEWRES
Do you want fast zooms? [Yes/No] <Y>:
Enter circle zoom percent (1-20000) <100>: 20000
Regenerating layout.
Command: *Cancel*
