PSLTSCALEĬontrols the Paperspace Linetype scale and allows all viewports to represent geometry at the same scale on paper irrespective of viewport scale. If you’re working with multiple scales in your viewports, use the PSLTSCALE to control the scale of your linetypes’ and LTSCALE to control the linetypes in Modelspace. If the final drawing will be displayed at 1:100, use an LTSCALE of 100. Note: The Linetype scale is usually best matched to the scale of your drawing. You will be prompted:Ī value can be entered for your Linetype scale. To change the LTSCALE for a drawing, type “ LTSCALE” into the command line. In the image, the same linetype is used for each line with different LTSCALE for each line. This can allow you to present your drawings at multiple scales while maintaining the linestyles’ appearance. In order to adjust the presentation of a linetype, use linetype scaling or LTSCALE and PSLTSCALE. It is not possible to save a drawing with the Isolate active. Isolate will always be cancelled when closing a drawing. Without Isolate active, the Isolate button will display a yellow bulb. To cancel Isolate, click the Isolate button and choose End object isolation. When Isolate is active, the Isolate button on the AutoCAD Status Bar will show a red bulb. To isolate objects, select the objects you wish to show on the screen, right-click and choose Isolate > Isolate objectsĪll objects selected will remain and any other objects will be hidden. While working on files, it can be beneficial to be able to hide objects from the screen without turning any layers off. The objects remain on the same layer but are displayed with different linetypes. To change the linetype of an individual object, select the object and change the linetype from the Ribbon Home tab > Properties panel, click the Linetype drop-down. Select the linetype you wish to use and click OK. The linetype will be added to the list of available linetypes in the Select Linetype dialog box. To add a new linetype, click Load… and select the desired linetype from the list. The Select Linetype dialog box will be displayed.īy default all layers are created with a continuous linetype.

To change the linetype of a layer, from the Ribbon Home tab > Layers panel, click the Layer Properties button.Ĭlick the linetype of the layer you wish to change. Linetypes change the way geometry is displayed in AutoCAD and can be controlled either by layer or by an individual object’s properties.
