Question
What are the definitions for the following line types:  long break line, stitch line, chain line, and veiwing plane lines

Answer
George,

Personally the easiest way to create customized line types is thru use of express tools' MKLTYPE. This command creates a linetype based on the selected std objects (pline, line, pts, text, shapes). Additionally, you can create custom shape files using MKSHAPE to coincide w/ MKLTYPE command. Furthermore you can tweak or just view the definitions from the *.lin file you generated. Hope this helps!
