1. LTSCALE sets the global linetype scale factor. By default the linetype scale is set to 1.00. The smaller the scale factor, the more repetitions of the pattern are generated per drawing unit.
2. CELTSCALE sets the current object linetype scaling factor.This linetype scaling factor for new objects relative to the LTSCALE command setting. A line created with CELTSCALE = 2 in a drawing with LTSCALE set to 0.5 would appear the same as a line created with CELTSCALE = 1 in a drawing with LTSCALE= 1.
3. PSLTSCALE controls the linetype scaling of objects displayed in paper space viewports.
1) If PSLTSCALE is 0, no special linetype scaling. Linetype dash lengths are based on the drawing units of the space (model or paper) in which the objects were created. Scaled by the global LTSCALE factor.
2) If PSLTSCALE is 1, viewport scaling governs linetype scaling. If TILEMODE is set to 0, dash lenghts are based on paper space drawing units, even for objects in model space. In this mode, viewports can have varying magnifications, yet display linetypes identically. For a specific linetype, the dash lengths of a line in a viewport are the same as the dash lengths of a line in a paper space. You can still control the dash lengths with LTSCALE.
*TILEMODE system variable controls the switch between the last layout tab (paper space) and the model space. If TILEMODE is 0, switches to the last layout space (paper space); If TILEMODE is 1, switches to the model space.
