Set the linetype scale (LTSCALE) to your drawing scale and in Paper Space set PSLTSCALE to 0. Make sure you do a RegenAll (REA).
Thanks for the help. I could not figure out why my linetypes in model space were huge... its the first time I ever heard of MSLtscale! I set it to 0 and they look like I expect them to again.
My typical method is to keep everything except annotation and any static info in separate xreferenced files. (Static info = info that never changes appearance regardless of the sheet layout) In my scenario there are no paperspace viewports to consider when I am editing the model so I give the model a fixed ltscale and dimscale. After I moved to C3D 2013 I have been baffled by the unexpected linetype scales. I haven't worried about it much since they are correct on the sheets which I set up the same as you (except for the unknown MSLtscale).
Thanks to your post I now know about MSLtscale. I used to enjoy perusing the readme file where the new commands, system variables, etc. were listed. It is much harder to find this info now (for me anyway). I give up too soon I guess.
