    Adjust Ltscale when working with DWG files

    Adjust ltscale when working with DWG files
     
    Here's a great tip from Sean Forward:
    There may be occasions where you get AutoCAD drawings and want to work on
    them in V8. On some occasions the linestyles will appear to be too small.

    Well, to overcome this there is a AC keyin that has been replicated in MSV8.

    dwg ltscale [scale_ factor]

    This is a hangover from AutoCAD and thus is required in V8.

    There are also other AC keyins that are available if you look at the keyin dialog box and look through the DWG keyin list
