Change PSLTSCALE Setting When Linetypes Are Not Appearing in Paper Space

Command

Prerequisites

• A drawing must be open

Overview

Sets the AutoCAD PSLTSCALE system variable to 0 for all layouts in the drawing. This ensures that line type scaling is consistent between model space and paper space viewports.

Steps

1. Type ATSET_PSLTSCALE in the AutoCAD command line
2. PSLTSCALE is set to 0 on all layouts

Tips

• Setting PSLTSCALE to 0 makes line type patterns appear at the same scale regardless of viewport zoom
• This is recommended for consistent line type display across viewports at different scales
