How do I set different linetype scales for the same layer in different viewports?

Post by caigner » Tue Feb 06, 2018 9:40 am

On the paper space I have created three viewports with different scales.
Is it possible to bind the linetype scale to the viewport scale?

No, this is not currently possible. However, this seems to be useful and supported by the DXF/DWG format, so there's a good chance this will be implemented in one the next releases. Presumably, this is what you had in mind:

Yes, exactly. Big thank you in advance!
But make it optional, so the current behaviour is also available.
