Controlling 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, AutoCAD LT uses both global and individual linetype scales of 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 1 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.

In paper space, you can adjust the scaling of linetypes in different paper space viewports with PSLTSCALE. For more information on paper space linetype scaling, see Scaling Views and Linetypes (PSPACE).
