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.
