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.
Quick Reference
LINETYPE
Loads, sets, and modifies linetypes.
CELTSCALE
Sets the current object linetype scaling factor.
LTSCALE
PSLTSCALE
Controls the linetype scaling of objects displayed in paper space viewports.
Display Linetypes on Short Segments and Polylines
You can center the pattern of a linetype on each segment of a polyline, and
you can control how the linetype is displayed on short segments.
If a line is too short to hold even one dash sequence, the result is a continuous
line between the endpoints, as shown below.
You can accommodate short segments by using a smaller value for their
individual linetype scales. For more information, see
Control Linetype Scale
on page 184.
For polylines, you can specify whether a linetype pattern is centered on each
segment or is continuous across vertices throughout the entire length of the
polyline. You do this by setting the PLINEGEN system variable.
