Linetype Properties : AutoCAD

Hello, Friends

Today We will learn about how to apply linetype to the selected objects.

Linetype is continuous & unbroken can be a pattern of Dashes, Dots, Text & Symbols.

e.g.

Linetypes                                Contents

Dashed                                 Combination many dash lines.

Dot                                       Combination of many dots.

Dash dot                               Combination of many dash lines & dots.

Gas                                       Combination of dash lines & Text

Fenceline1                            Combination of dash lines & Circle symbol

Default Linetype is Continuous. By default only Continuous, By block & By layer linetypes are loaded.

To Load other linetypes, Type LT Command to open Linetype Manager. Click on Load Button to load selected or all linetypes.

To apply any linetype on an object, First select object then apply any linetype from the list.

         We can control the scale of linetype as per object & print size. We can either globally change linetype or we can change the current object scale. By default, the Global Scale Factor value is 1.0 Change in Scale factor value affects the spacing & Size of Linotype. More repetitions and smaller spacing if the Scale factor is less than 1.0.Fewer repetitions & bigger spacing if the scale factor is greater than 1.0 use LTSCALE Command to change Global Scale Factor.

 

Current Scale Factor is a current object Scale.use the CELTSCALE system variable to change the object's scale. If Global Scale Factor is 2.0 & CELTSCALE scale factor is 1.5 then the object scale is      2 x 1.5=3. Use MSLTSCALE Command in Model Space.

             If MSLTSCALE value set to 0.Annotation Scale does not affect the scaling of linetype in model space. The default value is 1. Model & Paper space both have different Scale Factor. So When We work in Layout, There is difference between Scale factor. 

            When we plot objects from paper space set PTLTSCALE value to 1 to plot all linetypes patterns consistently between viewports regardless of Scale. if PTLTSCALE value is 0 then Scale factor apply as per global linetype scale factor.

                We can also change individual object scale from its properties. First Select object then changes the linetype & Linetype scale factor from its property.
