View Full Version : 2013 Line appearance in pspace won't match mspace with ltscale=1

This seems so simple that I'm embarrassed to ask (I've spent the morning scouring this board and others for a solution):

I'm drawing a building building to print at 1:50, also some detailed areas to print at 1:10. For ease of drawing editing I would like the modelspace view to reflect the 1:50 view in terms of dashed line scale. However I can't get the mspace, 1:50 viewport and 1:10 viewport to look right (unless I change psltscale to 0 and accept an ltscale that is a compromise between the scales).

I've tried changing ltscale to the inverse of 50 (among other values), psltscale, msltscale, individual line scales, and reloaded linetypes.

Does anyone have a recipe for the different variable values that will achieve my aim? Thanks.

LTSCALE=1, PSLTSCALE=1, MSLTSCALE=1

Sorry, that doesn't seem to work.

Essentially I want the 1:50 view to look the same as when in modelspace, but also be able to adjust the line scaling on the 1:10 view.

Well 2 things..
The line will look "the same" (pattern) in PS if your lines were long enough to show it (I stretched them to show the pattern).
In MS if you set your Cannoscale to 1:50 that will show what it looks like in PS

Yes, as Cadtag mentioned all those other variables need to be set to 1 (which they were)

Brilliant, thanks! It was the Cannoscale variable that was eluding me (as well as cadtag's suggestion).
