Linetype Display Problem

[stusic]

Hey All,

I've got a drawing that isn't displaying my linetype correctly (it seems to be shifting the cross-lines off the main line, see left image). If I open a new drawing (or any other drawing), it displays just fine (see right image). LTSCALE (and all the other *SCALES) are set to 1...

Any ideas? Thanks :)

Have you tried reloading the linetypes from the LIN file (assuming that is available)
Or inserting this drawing into a new empty one where the linetype are OK...

In your linetype (.LIN) file: Is it using Absolute/Relative rotation (http://docs.autodesk.com/ACD/2011/ENU/filesACG/WS73099cc142f4875513fb5cd10c4aa30d6b-7e5d.htm). Try toggling from one to the other and reload your LIN file, see if this solves the issue.

This might be a situation of the LIN file being modified to solve this issue, but not being reloaded into all DWG files. So you could have an old DWG which still shows the old definition of the linetype.

I tried reloading the linetype, but had the same issue. I copied the drawing to a new file and it fixed it. I am trying to find the root cause of it, which is where irneb's suggestion may come in to play, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

Thanks guys!

The attached routine will output the definition of the current linetype to the command line. You could load and run it in each drawing after making the linetype current to see if they differ and which one matches the one in the lin file you're using.
