Linestyle(s) in nested reference file appears as linestyle "0". This occurs even though in the actual file the linestyle is defined as a custom linestyle. The currently is occurring in one attachment only and problem is seen only when the custome linestyle is assigned to a level(bylevel). The problem occurs in both the parent file and the master file that the parent file is attached are opened read-only.

  • check for level overrides on the line style or just change level overrides on off in the view control

    through Control B to see if it is a level override problem to help narrow it down...

  • Does the Line Style display Red in the Level Manager, Level settings. It could be it can't find that particular Custom Line Style then M-Sta will display it as a solid line (0).

    Bring up the Line Styles dialog (Element > Line Style > Custom). Look for the Line Style in the dialog. If it is not listed M-Sta can't find it. If it displays, where the definition is coming from (look just above the preview in the Line Styles dialog.
