How to set linetypescale in a new layer?

How to set linetypescale in a new layer?

(OP)
I use VB for AutoCAD.

I wanna create a new layer,and set its color, linetype, linetypescale.
Now I can create create a new layer, and load a linetype and color for it. use code below:
  newlayer.color=5
  newlayer.linetype="center"
 
But how can i set linetypescale for all object on this layer?

RE: How to set linetypescale in a new layer?

You control ltscale per object and not per layer. You can set the variable ltscale and then draw. Could you be referring to lineweight?

In VBA, the ACAD object is DimAligned and you would probabity use GetXData and SetXData methods to control LinetypeScale property.  

Hope this helps,

John
