Assign Linetypes
When you select the Linetype field in the Plot Style Table Editor, a list with
a sample and a description of each linetype are displayed. The default setting
for plot style linetype is Use Object Linetype.
Whether you choose to assign a linetype as a property of the object or as a
plot style, you can set the Adaptive option. This option adjusts the scale of
the linetype to complete the linetype pattern. If you don't select Adaptive,
the line might end in the middle of a pattern. Turn off Adaptive if linetype
scale is important. Turn on Adaptive if complete linetype patterns are more
important than correct linetype scaling.
You can apply a global scale factor to non-ISO linetypes and fill patterns in
plot styles.

style at plot time.
