METRIC LINETYPE SCALE

Hello,

 

I am using AutoCAD 2014.

 

I have been working with some metric units lately and have issues with my linetype scale.  I have a metric scale of 1:5000, viewport set to 1mm=5M.  It seems that the imperial linetype scale, if based on inches originally, would be multiplied by 0.0254 to convert to meters, so 5000 x 0.0254=127 lt scale.  But this seems very large in the actual CAD file and does not seem correct.  If I set the lt scale to viewport scale of 5, the linetype scale seems more reasonable but still a little small.  Does anyone have a suggestion for properly adjusting linetype scale from imperial to metric?
