The Linetype Manager displays the Global Scale Factor and Current Object
Scale.
■ The Global Scale Factor value controls the LTSCALE system variable, which
changes the linetype scale globally for both new and existing objects.
■ The Current Object Scale value controls the CELTSCALE system variable,
which sets the linetype scale for new objects.
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.
