Linetype display in model space

We recently upgraded to AutoCAD Mechanical 2010 from 2009. Previously I would set the cannoscale using the button at the bottom of the screen in model space so that centerlines would appear non-continuous.

That is not working now in 2010. Is there another variable I should look at to correct this. Again, this is something I want to do in model space. There is no problem in paper space.

Thanks.

Hi,

Can you try using LTSCALE command and verify if it helps.

Thanks,

Changing the ltscale will present the linetypes properly in model space. I would have to set it back to 1 when I return to paper space.

That is something I did not have to do in 2009 and I was just wondering if somebody knew a setting that I am overlooking that needs to be changed to make the cannoscale work in model space like it did previously.

Thanks for answering.

Is ANNOAUTOSCALE set to -4? Set MSLTSCALE to 1 and verify the issue.

Thanks,
