Linetype Text

[asutherland]

I recived a drawing from a client and the linetype text is very large and frequent. I checked the "standard" text style and the text height is set at 0. I am thinking that the linetype text is set to another text style. How can I check what text style is set to the linetype? please see attached.

Check the lt scale on those lines first and see if that may be it, then look at all the text styles in the dwg and try a little trial and error setting each ht to 0 for each. Also it may be the font used for the text style.

You can extract the linetype definition from the drawing to a file.

How can I check what text style is set to the linetype?

Here is a bit of lisp code that will return the style name used in a given linetype:

(cdr (assoc 2 (entget (cdr (assoc 340 (entget (tblobjname "LTYPE" "STM")))))))

Replace the red "STM" with the name of your linetype and then paste the entire string to the command line. If you supply a non-complex linetype name, it will just return an error.
