Custom Linetypes Text Size Problem

[jsnow]

In 2006 we had this custom linetype that worked I cut and pasted it into the 2009 acad.lin file.


It looks like this
*Power,Power----P----P----P----P----P----P----P----P----P----P----
A,1.5,-.2,["P",ROMANS,S=.1875,R=0.0,X=-0.1,Y=-.05],-.2

In 2009 which we just upgraded to it is not working quite right the Text is to small. I have tried a lot of things and the text stays small. Trying to view it in a viewport at a 1"=10' scale.

Ideas of what to look at next?

Autocad is reading the acad.lin file every time it boots up right?

Does your ROMANS textstyle in the drawing have a fixed text height?

No. Linetypes are stored in the drawing, not referenced from a .LIN file.
The LIN file is just a "storage device" for storing linetype definitions.

You can use the LINETYPE command to reload the messed up linetype, and then enter the REGEN command which usually works.

Got it fixed Thanks

No my text in Romans was not set to a height.

I reloaded the linetypes and regened which I had not done. Oops :Oops: I had just kept restarting Autocad thinking I was getting the updates.
