How do I change the LTSCALE for a specific dotted line?

[cipu_marinel_d3h]

Hello! I'm having a small issue currently with a project where I have to use a different ltscale for certain dotted lines, and in my .dwg file there are 2 geometric shapes that contain such lines (and I have to set the ltscale = 3 for these 3 lines), compared to the rest of the drawing where I used 10. How do I change it so that it doesn't apply globally? I tried using the CH command but it didn't word, also creating a new layer didn't work either. Thanks for any help you can provide!

I typically would create a new linetype that would give you the look you desire.

This way all object's linetype scales are left the same at 1.

But if you only have a few lines like in this case just in the geometry you've shown, you can break the rule (since rules are made to be broken) and just change these linetype scales to a smaller number in the Properties palette:

Your overall LTscale of 10 of course is still in place but the above settings would override that.

FYI: I also had to use the UNITS command and change the precision to 1/4 so I can see the smaller linetype scale values

Change the properties (Ctrl+1) of that line or adjust its LT scale visually to your liking with the DLTS dynamic tool: https://www.cadforum.cz/en/dynamic-linetype-scaling-by-mouse-dragging-tip10855

Whenever I use linetypes inside a block I use linexp.lsp to explode them so the block will always display correctly at any scale in any drawing even if that linetype isn't in it but for linework in a drawing I'd add linetypes as needed.

Yes, this mod (of TxtExp) was done by me some time ago, but you lose the line behaviour.
