I am trying to set up our office standards for ORD. I have migrated levels, element templates, etc. I am having issues with my custom linestyles displaying 1000 times too large in ORD. Could this be a UOR issue with the new ORD UORs set at 10000 per survey foot, and my legacy files were at 1000 per survey foot?
Hi Mauritzj,
You may also check the global linestyle factor for the Default Model.
From Model dialog, access properties for Default model, there is a linestyle scale setting.By default, it is set to Annotationscale, so linestyles are scaled up by your active drawing scale.Try setting this value to Globallinestyle factor (set to 1) and see if linestyles are ok.

i'm having the same issue. Topo linestyles built by a different company in SS4. I have saved the drawing in ORD and at a drawing scale of 1"=40' many of the linestyles are much too large. How do you locate "the model" in ORD? How do you access this panel that you show? When I go to settings then design file then active scale it is set to 1.0. Where do you find the global scale factor in ORD? What is a "UOR"? How do I check this?
Model Properties dialog box shows the design file setting for annotation scale vs global linestyle scale. The custom line style dialog box shows the global linestyle scale factor. Lastly, linestyles have a property of physical and non-physical. If set to physical, I believe they ignore scale factors unless set at the element level. Items like guard rail and lane skip striping are usually set to Physical. Woods lines and fence lines are usually not so they scale with plotting scale.
