SS2 to SS4 linestyle .rsc scale issue

Question

Hi, 
 
 We are in the process of upgrading from SS2 to SS4 and ran into a werid issue. I have 2 independent workspaces set up for each version. I copied the linestyle .rsc files from the SS2 workspace to the SS4 workspace. 
 
 For certain linestyles, when opened in SS4, they appear HUGE. When i close and reopen with a SS2 platform, they appear normal. 
 The linestyle is drawn at 1-scale and then is changed by modifying the model properties global linescale to 300 (1"=25') in SS2....it appears SS4 looks correct when I change the model properties global linescale to 25 (1:25). Why would it be doing this? 
 
 Thanks

are you using annotation scale? 
 Check model properties and see if its using annotation scale or global scale.. 
 You would better off to use annotation scale in all instances... if that doesnt work for you try changing the actual scale in the level manager, if that doesn't fix it then set it through the LT scale of the actual element properties.... I have had very similar problems with custom lines made in pre v8 days and imported through the years and started to have issues with these in V8iss4 too... I think its a lot to do with the original settings for the master units... Its even worse with custom lines imported from autocad... as I work in civil we work in meters not mm and I often have to change the LT scale from 1 to 1/1000, then let annotation scale take over...
