We are trying to update our linestyles to utilize the annotation scale, so we are drawing everything 1:1. The linestyles are then scaled like a champed when we say the sheet is 100:1, for example. However, there are certain linestyles that we need to always remain at a 1:1 scale, such as the width of a barrier for roadway design. No matter what scale we are at, they need to be drawn at 3' wide. I can't seem to find a way in the linestyle to indicate to never scale that linestyle. I've tried setting the Level Linestyle Scale and Override Scales to 1, however this does not work.
An option would be to use multi-linestyles, however, all our linestyles are not linear - for example traffic control drums are not lines.
Thoughts? Suggestions?

This is a matter that I would like to complain to Bentley few years ago. To successfully set the Linestyle scale in override, you have to satisfy two requirements together (I don't know why) :
I would like to confirm that if you have tried to enable the following settings:
I had not tried that, but it does not appear to work either. See the attached video. Setting those values and then changing the global linestyle scale still changes the scale of the style.
In the Line Style Editor if you select a linestyle and pulldown Edit>Physical... save your .RSC this will make microstation ignore the scale factor for reference and annotation scale, and your linestyle should always appear 1:1. altho I believe you can override the scale in element information...
