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.

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?

Make sure you are not using a Global Scale Factor and Annotation Scale at the same time.

I can't say for sure, but it is a distinct possibility.

Create a new, blank drawing and fix the working unit/UOR definition to match your old settings. See if your linestyles look right in that drawing. That will tell you something.

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.
