    How can I account for dwg scale when creating a customized linetype? I am
    creating an ep linetype with a tic mark....but it only works for one scale.

    Thanks

    is your drawing ltscale set to something other than 1? (or the object
    ltscale?)

    LTSCALE = 1, PSLTSCALE =1

    Is dimscale set for model space (tilemode 1)? i.e. if 1/4" scale drawing is
    dimscale = 48 and ltscale = 48? Also, I would create a special style for
    any complex linetypes so that other styles do not interfer with it.

    I wish I could say I understood what you're saying....but I'm not clear.

    What does dimscale have anything to do with the size of shapes as they
    appear in a custom linetype of dwgs with different scales?

    Thanks.

    Nothing with shapes, only with the text. Ltscale would affect the size of
    the shape. Set to same as dimscale if you are using each equal.
