Why LT Scale works differently both in Model and in Layout mod

[Anonymous]

Why The LineType or LT Scale command works with different scalfactor in Model space and in Layout mod? The answer is very simple and understandable that because the Layout mod has a paper-size scalfactor in other words a constant display size (for example A3 or A4 paper size) but the Model space has a scalfactor based on the on-screen size / area of the drawing.

Here is a simple tutorial for beginners to understand that scalfactor difference of LineType both in Model space and in Layout mod.

There is no need to keep changing your LTSCALE when switching between 'model' and 'layout' tabs.

Have PSLTSCALE set to 1, and the linetypes will appear in both as they are intended to be seen.

Look up MSLTSCALE and PSLTSCALE: these are separate from LTSCALE and setting them is the easier way to get the visuals you need.

Just know what CELTSCALE is set to at all time to ensure it's not overriding things (Ideally it needs to be set to 1): and don't loose track of CANNOSCALE too.

PSLTSCALE set to 1

Viewport scaling governs linetype scaling. If TILEMODE is set to 0, dash lengths are based on paper space drawing units, even for objects in model space. In this mode, viewports can have varying magnifications, yet display linetypes identically. For a specific linetype, the dash lengths of a line in a viewport are the same as the dash lengths of a line in paper space. You can still control the dash lengths with LTSCALE

MSLTSCALE set to 1 (Use Annnotation Scale)

Linetypes displayed on the Model tab are scaled by the annotation scale
