Control Linetype Scale
You can use the same linetype at different scales by changing the linetype
scale factor either globally or individually for each object.
By default, both global and individual linetype scales are set to 1.0. The smaller
the scale, the more repetitions of the pattern are generated per drawing unit.
For example, with a setting of 0.5, two repetitions of the pattern in the linetype
definition are displayed for each drawing unit. Short line segments that cannot
display one full linetype pattern are displayed as continuous. You can use a
smaller linetype scale for lines that are too short to display even one dash
sequence.
The Linetype Manager displays the Global Scale Factor and Current Object
Scale.
The Global Scale Factor value controls the LTSCALE system variable, which
changes the linetype scale globally for both new and existing objects.
The Current Object Scale value controls the CELTSCALE system variable,
which sets the linetype scale for new objects.
The CELTSCALE value is multiplied by the LTSCALE value to get the displayed
linetype scale. You can easily change linetype scales in your drawing either
individually or globally.
In a layout, you can adjust the scaling of linetypes in different viewports with
PSLTSCALE.
