Scale Linetypes
When you scale views in layout viewports, you can create inconsistencies in the appearance of
linetypes. In noncontinuous linetypes, the length of dashes and dots, and the space between them,
may increase or decrease. You can set the scaling to correspond to the model or layout scale or to
remain the same at any zoom scale.
Use the Details area of the Linetype Manager to control the linetype scale in layout viewports.
■
Global Scale Factor.
Sets the global scale factor for all linetypes.
■
Current Object Scale.
Sets the linetype scale for newly created objects.
■
Use Paper Space Units for Scaling.
Scales the linetypes in paper space and model space identically.
To update a linetype scale, you need to regenerate the model space display within a layout viewport
on the layout tab. The steps required are
