Replacing of Header Variables

Transcript:

 

Linetype definitions are specified in DWG / DXF data transfer in absolute, scale-free values.

 

The adjustment of the stroke of a Linetype to the drawing scale is done with the header variable LTSCALE. This line type factor multiplies all Linetype definitions globally. This means that all lines that have a dash in the plot or on the screen are enlarged by the line tactile factor. The value of LTSCALE applies to all Linetypes.

 

The drawing on the next page shows this definition.

 

In the German versions of AutoCAD, the command for setting the line type factor is LTFAKTOR (regardless of this, the associated header variable is named LTSCALE in the DWG / DXF files).

 

The Linetype definitions can be performed in arbitrary units. Therefore, it often happens during data transfer that the line type factor has the wrong value.

 

It's more difficult also, if during the further processing of the drawing own Linetypes should be drawn. LTFAKTOR has the global effect on all Linetype definitions. If, for example, the line types of your data supplier are defined in mm, but your own should be defined in cm, the representation of one of the Linetypes will be 10 times too small or too large. In this case, only the exchange of line types will solve this problem (see chapter Conversion Tables).
