Hello All,
Anyone have any thoughts about solving this linetype issue I am having with the linetype not showing properly?? Checkout the attached image for a visual.
We use the X-----X-----X----- linetype for existing fences in our drafting standards.
For some reason the existing fence linetype which uses the X isn't showing up properly per the related image in the second drawing (X is below the line). If I draw it directly into the file it draws like the second image. If I adjust the linetype scale it increases or decreases the size and spacing of the X but doesn't place the X on the line.
I purged the linetypes from the second drawing and then copy and pasted the first line into the drawing and it still showed up screwed up. The other fence linetypes use circles and squares on the line and are fine.
I played with the TSPACEFAC and TSPACETYPE a while ago to get our MTEXT line spacing to tighten up and reduce the spacing between multiple lines of text in the same multiline callouts. Since the fence uses an X, which is a letter, perhaps the system variable is moving the X off the line but I am out of ideas otherwise. I played with that this morning and didn't get anywhere.
Has anyone else ever experienced this??
Thanks,

Are those screenshots from the same DWG file? If not, ISNERT the bad one into the good one and your linetype definition should get fixed.
Or post a DWG here instead of screenshots.
What do you mean by "insert bad into good"?.. I'm farely effecient with Acad but I'm having very similar issue.. One of my drawings WILL not show any linetypes with letters involved (i.e. Water lines, SD lines, Fencelines etc)... I've purged, reloaded, and a bunch of other tricks I've tried.
I've checked LTS, PSLTSCALE, MSLTSCALE, My annotation scales, My annotation text height and properties... It's only this drawing and where I xref this drawing. The linetypes come in good scaling for the distance between breaks but the text is coming in very small and below the line...
