Publishing sheets saved in modelspace

    We've just made the chance from ADT 2004 to ADT 2005 and have found an small problem with using the PUBLISH command.

    Our office standard LTSCALE to DIMSCALE ratio is .25 to 1 so we therefore use a LISP routine to keep this ratio when going back and forth between tilemode 1 (modelspace) and tilemode 0 (paperspace).

    The problem seems to come when a drawing has been saved in modelspace. If you publish this drawing with it's layout's default pagesetup name the drawing plots/prints with it's linetypes wrong.

    This is actually an old problem resurfacing. In the past if you used the layout tab/modelspace tab to go back and forth between tilemodes, the LTSCALE to DIMSCALE ratio gets screwed up. With PUBLISH, I believe our linetypes are wrong because autocad is doing the equivilant. It takes a drawing saved in modelspace, opens it up temporarily and tabs to layout. If you have a LTSCALE to DIMSCALE ratio set to something other than 1 to 1 linetype displays get screwed up.

    This is the problem I think were having. Has anyone else experienced this? Any recommendations without changing our current LTSCALE to DIMSCALE ration standard?

    and if you have the publish in background feature turned off, you can see that the drawing displays itself on the screen and go
