PSLTSCALE is saved in the drawing. So once you set it in a drawing/viewport it will stay until someone or something changes it.

If you want new drawings to have a certain value, change your drawing template(s).

You could have a program (lisp, vba, arx, etc.) changing it without your knowledge too. If you think this might be it, what version of AutoCAD iare you using?

MSLTSCALE, PSLTSCALE and LTSCALE are dwg specific variables.

I believe it is best to set these in your template filess so all new work is all set and ready to go.

As for opening older files you can add these commands to you acaddoc.lsp file so everytime you open a files these variables are set as you need.

Here is an example.

(setvar "PSLtscale" 1)

Here is some good info on using the acaddoc.lsp file.
