If you use Paper space layouts, just leave this set at 1.0. Sets the Current Entity Line Type Scale i.e. By setting CELTSCALE to 0.5 the next line you draw will have a linetype scale factor which is half that of the lines drawn previously. You can use this feature to vary the linetype scale of your lines as you draw them.
You can also change the line type scale of some geometry after you’ve drawn it by selecting the geometry and looking for ‘ LTSCALE’ in the properties palette.ĭon’t forget to set the ‘ CELTSCALE’ back to match ‘ LTSCALE’ when you’re finished. This variable controls the linetype scaling of geometry displayed in paper space viewports – Paper Space Line Type Scale. Setting ‘ PSLTSCALE’ to 0 (Off) will mean that the linetype scale factor of your modelspace geometry will not be effected by the scale of your viewport. Setting ‘ PSLTSCALE’ to 1 (On) means that the line type scale of your modelspace geometry will be scaled to match the viewport scale. If you use paper space layouts, turning paper space line type scaling on ensures that all your geometry will have the correct line type scale, no mater what the viewport scale is. ‘ LTSCALE’ and ‘ CELTSCALE’ Still effect the Line type scale of your geometry. You might need to use the ‘ REGEN’ or ‘ REGENALL’ command to see the result of any changes in your viewports. This is a reasonably new (Since 2007), but extremely useful variable.
