Family/Part Centerline Linestyle Mix-up

Drawing Extractions - Generate Centerlines

Has anyone ever seen a mix up with centerline linestyles upon extracting a file?  The image below shows an example of our firewall linestyles.  One diamond represents a 1HR wall and two diamonds represents a 2HR wall. 

If I start a new file, they extract fine.  On one problem file, when extracting the plan with generate centerlines in the cut plane tab, the linetypes are reversed - one diamond for 2HR and two diamonds for 1HR.  All I can think of that is different is I changed the family/part settings after the walls were created in the file.  I tried reapplying the part settings and the information shows everything is fine.  However, the extration result does not.

  • This has happened to me many times, It is not consistent at all the behaviour, so trying to track down the reason has been pretty futile.
    Usually I find that it will swap custom linestyles with other custom linestyles. I have had to delete these linestyles from my library and recreat which will solve the problem to an extent, but it will then reappear elsewhere with different lines.
    Also on occasion I will find that the DV is fine, but cacheing will replace with incorrect linestyles.
