Lesson: Using Linetypes ■ 319
You can control linetype scale in the drawing using two different methods.
■ LTSCALE: This is a global linetype scale factor that affects all of the objects that use linetypes in the
drawing. To change the global linetype scale, on the Command line, enter LTSCALE and then enter
a positive number. The default scale factor is set to 1.
■ Linetype Scale property: You can set the linetype scale factor for selected objects. Double-click
the object to access the Properties palette (or right-click and select Properties from the shortcut
menu). Enter a new value in the Linetype Scale property field. The Linetype Scale property works
in combination with the global linetype scale factor for the drawing. For example, if the global
linetype scale factor is set to 2 and the linetype scale property is set to 0.5, the net result is a
linetype scale factor of 1 for the selected object.
