Why is my linetype scale different in paper space? If you change the LTSCALE, you change the appearance of the linetype in Model Space. As shown above, LTSCALE not only scales the dashes in dashed

Why is my linetype scale different in paper space?

If you change the LTSCALE, you change the appearance of the linetype in Model Space. As shown above, LTSCALE not only scales the dashes in dashed lines but also the spaces between them. As a result, lines that appear dashed in Model Space – that is, in your working drawing – may appear solid in Paper Space.

How do you make a viewport in a paper space?

Creating viewports in a layout

  1. Click the Paper Space Views tool button ( ) on the Views toolbar.
  2. Choose Paper Space Views in the Views menu.
  3. Type mview at the command prompt, then press Enter.

What should my Ltscale be?

As a general rule: the LTSCALE should be set to half of your drawing “scale factor” in order to see your dashed lines to appear correctly. In the animated picture, my drawing “scale factor” is set to 48 so I set my LTSCALE to 24 and then I was able to see my dashed lines in model space.

How do you show linetypes in AutoCAD?

To set the linetype scale at the keyboard, follow these steps:

  1. Type LTSCALE (or LTS) and press Enter. AutoCAD responds with a prompt, asking you for the scale factor.
  2. Type the value you want for the linetype scale and press Enter. The easiest choice is to set the linetype scale to the drawing scale factor.

How do you make a dotted line in paper space?

Enter LINETYPE to open Linetype Manager. Click Show Details. Uncheck Use Paper Space Units for Scaling. Click OK.

How do you show hidden lines in paper space?

(If you do not see this option, click on the “Show Details” tab in the upper right corner of the dialog box and it will appear) You will have to “regenall” in the Paper Space area to show the changes. You will need to do this for each layout in the drawing.

What’s the easiest way to know if you are in paper space layout mode?

When you’re in the layout (paper space), you should see the right triangle UCS icon on the lower-left corner of your layout. Another very easy way is to add the paper space setting in the Status Bar from the Customization icon in the Status Bar. This setting will display the current space you are in.

How do you move from model space to paper space?

To Move Objects Between Paper Space and Model Space

  1. Click Home tab Modify panel Change Space. Find.
  2. Select one or more objects to move.
  3. Press Enter to end the command.

What is Psltscale?

PSLTSCALE. This variable controls the linetype scaling of geometry displayed in paper space viewports – Paper Space Line Type Scale. This variable only has two settings. Setting ‘PSLTSCALE’ to 0 (Off) will mean that the linetype scale factor of your modelspace geometry will not be effected by the scale of your viewport …

What is the value of Psltscale?

When a drawing is viewed in a layout the lines are displayed relative to the viewport scaling factor. Setting the PSLTSCALE system variable allows to maintain the same linetype scaling for objects displayed at different zoom factors in a layout and in a layout viewport.

How do you show linetypes in paper space?

Turn off the paper space units option for linetypes:

  1. Enter LINETYPE to open Linetype Manager.
  2. Click Show Details.
  3. Uncheck Use Paper Space Units for Scaling.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Double-click into the viewport to activate it.
  6. Enter REGEN.

How do you show linetypes?

Linetypes are controlled by four variables: LTSCALE, CELTSCALE, PSLTSCALE and MSLTSCALE. To put simply set the value of the above four variables to 1 and your linetypes will show appropriately in both paper space and model space.

How to display linetypes in model and paper space?

MSLTSCALE is the model space linetype factor (introduced in AutoCAD 2008) To put simply set the value of the above four variables to 1 and your linetypes will show appropriately in both paper space and model space. Make sure you set the appropriate annotation scale in the model space – as pointed by the arrow in the screen shot below (1/4” = 1’).

How are linetypes controlled in AutoCAD model space?

Linetypes are controlled by four variables: LTSCALE, CELTSCALE, PSLTSCALE and MSLTSCALE. To put simply set the value of the above four variables to 1 and your linetypes will show appropriately in both paper space and model space.

How to make a continuous line appear in model space?

Continuous in paper space and dashed in model space. Dashed in paper space and with spaces between line segments in model space which are too large. In the layout double-click inside a viewport to activate it, then type PSLTSCALE and set it to either 0 or 1. Enter REGEN after changing these variables.

Why do I have dashed lines in paper space?

Dashed in paper space and with spaces between line segments in model space which are too large. In the layout double-click inside a viewport to activate it, then type PSLTSCALE and set it to either 0 or 1. Enter REGEN after changing these variables. The PSLTSCALE variable may have different values for each layout.
