Linetype Variables

There are a few variables that can control what your linetypes look like in AutoCAD.

LTSCALE - This variable is like a preview of what your linetypes will look like at a certain scale in Model Space.
PSLTSCALE - This is the variable that control what your linetypes will look like in Paper Space.
CELTSCALE - The is the current element linetype scale. If you set this in your properties dialog box, every linetype will have a specific linetype scale that will be multiplied by LTSCALE or PSLTSCALE.

The good news about all of this is, by using Scale Manager, you do not have to remember any of these. Just thought you would like to know what Scale Manager is doing for you.
