Permanent LTscale

[Anonymous]

Is there a way to have the LTscale in paperspace to permanently be set to 1? Either in 

There have been so many times when we are drawing with the LTscale at 1:00 for example to see the lines and dashes, go to plot and realize afterwards that we forgot to change the scale and have to go back and replot everything. 

Thanks in advance!

The question is: Why do you change ltscale /=1 ?
No there is no way. It is stored in the dwg and only user change the value.

Use templates where ltscale is set to 1
Set ltscale =1 to sysvarmon list, that rember you if ltscale is not set to 1

Hi Jeff,

For example the dashed lines don't show up as dashed in model space unless
we up the ltscale to something larger than one, usually to the scale of the
drawing (e.g. 1:100, we'd set ltscale 100 in model space for legibility
reasons). When we go to plot however, the viewport has the drawing scaled
at 1:100 and an ltscale of 100 is too large, the dashes are too large, so
it needs to be scaled back down to 1 to be viewed correctly.

I'm unable to get the sysvarmon command to work on AutoCAD LT, is this only
available in AutoCAD?

What version of LT are you using?

[cadffm]

Which version do you have? Look into your Help [F1] if sysvarmonitor is available or not..

_sysvarmonitor works well in LT too, but is only available in Version since 2016

The rest of the description is difficult to interpret.
Please inform yourself about PSLTSCALE and MSLTSCALE [F1] and test with them in a copy of your file to understand how they works.

We have AutoCAD LT 2013, seeing CADffm's response below, our version must
be too old to use sysvarmonitor

yes it is too old for these newer monitoring tools built in to catch changes to variables.

If LTSCALE has to be set to 1 all the time in all of your files, why don't you add that as a macro to the buttons you press most on screen (save, plot, line, pline, move, copy etc.) then everytime you touch any of those buttons it is reset. Every Single Time.

Try it. Just remember you did that next month when you suddenly decide things ought to be different.
