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.
