Dashed Line Lisp Needed

[Sameer Ahmed]

Thanks, Its what i was looking for

I found this thread and the LISP routine works well. Can the LISP be modified so that the scale is automatically modified to accurately show lets say a 2' line with a 6' space?

It seems like the Linetype scale would need to be set to 1 divided by the annotation scale. For example, in order for a dashed line drawn at 2' intervals with 6' spacing in a drawing set to a scale of 1'=20' the Linetype scale would be set to .05 (1/20). Can this be incorporated into the LISP?

Why not just set PSLTSCALE to 1 in your layouts so they'll always plot the same? For model space set MSLTSCALE to 1 and use annotation scale to scale them properly.

I don't want to change my annotation scale since it will effect other things in my drawing

just make a file of your custom linetypes they are very easy to make and scale would be 1. You just load the file using Linetype. Custom.lin

eg
*LANE39,____ _____ ____
A,3.00,-9.00
