Good morning, I have an issue with my line type scales, does not show how i want them

These variables get saved with the drawing file and should stay as they were when last saved  .... unless your manager has your workstations set up the set these variables upon open a file.  Check with your CAD manager or IT manager if this is the case.

Whenever starting a drawing, I typically set the msltscale, psltscale, and ltscale variables to 1. While setting up your layout, make sure that your view port scale matches your annotation scale in model space.

 

I hope this helps.

If MSLTSCALE, PSLTSCALE, and LTSCALE are all set to 1, and your viewport annotation scale matches that of modelspace, everything should look the same between viewports and modelspace.  The linetype scales should not change on their own, unless some sort of customization is running.  Are you using anything like Reference Templates, or custom lisp/.net routines?  Linetype scale is not something that is associated by layer, it could be assigned by object, but would not change on its own.

There is also a variable, MSLTSCALE, which you should set.
