PSLTSCALE question
I am using layout tabs to print paperspace sheets (at 1:1) of the modelspace drawing with ltscale etc set for 1:50 scale.Linetypes visible in modelspace are all continuous in paperspace viewports, until I go "PSLTSCALE" "off". Then everything is fine.I find the helpfile confusing on this but the command works this way for me.The only actual problem is when I open the file it reverts to PSLTSCALE ON. I want to include the command turning it off in Icad.lsp, but it doesn't work. Some other setvars also do not work in icad.lsp either but those do not cause much trouble.Any help gratefully received.

Have you tried (defun S::STARTUP () .... )?The STARTUP function runs after the drawing is opened or "initialized".

From the early days of Autocad, I never knew what that did. I will look it up but guess I can just put it at the beginning of icad.lsp? Many thanks.

Each viewport has its own setting for psltscale. You have to set it while in the viewport, and then it stays that way. But when you go to a different viewport, or into paperspace, you might see a different setting for it.Setting it to 0 or "off" makes the dashes appear the same in the viewport as they do in modelspace.

PSLTSCALE is either on or off and only has an affect on entities viewed from paperspace. You don't have to set it in each viewport. What it does is scale the linetypes in each viewport according to the scale of zoom that you used in setting up that particular viewport in paperspace. This way, if all hidden lines in model space have an LTSCALE of 1, and PSLTSCALE is set to 1 (or ON), all hidden lines in all viewports in modelspace will have the same appearance!

I made a mistake in my earlier post. It's not true that each viewport has its own psltscale setting; it's that each layout has its own setting, which applies to all the viewports in that layout.
