Linetype Scale for an individual Layer

[PEGAdevelopment]

I need to change the linetype scale for a particular layer only. Is there a way to do this?

In another similar thread Robdraw recommended this: isolate the layer, select everything, and change the ltscale in the properties box. Or use QSelect to select all the affected lines.

There are another way to do it!

 

Select all objects, and in the properties box you can do a filter (quick select) by layer, color, type of object (line, circle, pline, arc), after the filter you can change the line properties in that box or with lts command!...

So there is no way to change lts by layer. Wow that sucks, but thanks for the workaround!

Must be an echo in here.

 

PEGA: Linetype scale is typically global unless Civil 3D has a feature plain AutoCAD doesn't that I am not aware of.

Are you familiar with this? It is something I often overlook. Courtesy of the CAD Manager Blog.

 

CELTSCALE – Current Element LineType Scale – Sets the current object linetype scaling factor. You can force an individual elements LTSCALE with this setting.

 

 

The Global Scale Factor value controls the LTSCALE system variable, which changes the linetype scale globally for both new and existing objects.

 

 

The Current Object Scale value controls the CELTSCALE system variable, which sets the linetype scale for new objects.

 

 

The CELTSCALE value is multiplied by the LTSCALE value to get the displayed linetype scale. You can easily change linetype scales in your drawing either individually or globally.

 

 

Sets the linetype scaling for new objects relative to the LTSCALE command setting. A line created with CELTSCALE = 2 in a drawing with LTSCALE set to 0.5 would appear the same as a line created with CELTSCALE = 1 in a drawing with LTSCALE = 1.

Hmm... didn't think of CELTSCALE command. I gave it a try and got matching results. Thanks for another way to do this.
