I FORGOT HOW TO DO THIS: TO SHOW LINE TYPE SCALES CORRECTLY AT DIFFERENT SCALES IN SEPARATE VIEWPORTS ON THE SAME SHEET. I HAVE AN OLD DRAWING THAT SHOWS IT RIGHT WHEN I SET LTSCALE=1 IN PAPERSPACE BUT I COULD NOT FIND/REMEMBER HOW DID I GET THERE.

THANX IN ADVANCE TO WHOMEVER CAN GIVE ME THE INPUT.
 
Set LTSCALE to between 0.5 and 1.0 typically.
Sep PSLTSCALE to 1

Following pasted from Help document:

PSLTSCALE
Type: Integer
Saved in: Drawing
Initial value: 1
Controls paper space linetype scaling.

0 No special linetype scaling. Linetype dash lengths are based on the drawing units of the space (model or paper) in which the objects were created. Scaled by the global LTSCALE factor.
1 Viewport scaling governs linetype scaling. If TILEMODE is set to 0, dash lengths are based on paper space drawing units, even for objects in model space. In this mode, viewports can have varying magnifications, yet display linetypes identically. For a specific linetype, the dash lengths of a line in a viewport are the same as the dash lengths of a line in paper space. You can still control the dash lengths with LTSCALE.
 
CARLCAD,

THANX FOR YOUR REMINDER. HERE IS ANOTHER RELATED BUT UNRELATED QUESTION: MI LEARNING ASISTANT IS NOT FUNCTIONAL AND THE CD COPY THAT I HAVE DOES NOT SEEM TO PROVIDE INTALLATION FOR IT. IS THERE ANY WAY AROUND TO GET IT UP & RUNNING?

AGAIN, THANX
