Linetypes

[durrcraig740145]

I am using AutoCAD 2017.
When going to Linetype Manager it defaults to acadiso.lin
How can I change it to default to acad.lin

Thanks

I thought it usually defaults to the last .lin file you loaded from.
So once you load from acad.lin it should default to that I believe.

Also what are your default drawing template settings? acadiso.lin is for metric drawings.. not sure if that matters.

That drawing is set to Metric units, check the system variable MEASUREMENT.

I added an alert to my acaddoc.lsp file to let me know if I open a drawing with Metric units:

(if (= (getvar 'MEASUREMENT) 1)
  (alert "Measurement:  1  <Metric>  \nDrawing uses metric support files.")
)
