Green at Microstatoin (Autodesk background). We have a files provided by a client. When I reference one of the files into our file the line scaling is off. I compared our file against a provided file that shares the same reference as ours here is what I found: The Drawing Scales are identical, with annotation scaling on. I checked the Model Properties and Line Style Scale is set to Annotation Scale for both. Both are 2D Design files. The reference file in question are attached in both drawings with Scale Line by Reference Scale and Use Active Annotation Scale. If I set the reference Presentations the same I still have the issue. View attributes are similar with the exception of Fill and Level Overrides are turn on in our dgn file. I know I’m missing something but cannot find what this is.

RSC export/import seems to have resolved the issue.
just out of curiosity go to the dgn where the actual element lives, now select that element and right mouse button and select the properties item from the submenu activated by holding the rmbutton down, then in the properties find the line style parameters> extended> scale and see what the actual scale is...
Then this number will be multiplied or divided by the annotation scale...
This setting applies to custom linestyles and complex like -G- or -> ->
Some times when used as a ref file I have to divide this by 1000 to make it work in metres then when in the drawings it multiplies by the drawing scale and then it looks right in drawings... oh and annotation scales settings need to set in the ref manager and model properties for both ref file and drawing file which I think you found already...
