im working on a project which has utilities lines along the corridor and have another engineering working on these CADD files. we are using the same workset and workspace but fr some reason our scales are off. when i place the same line type they are coming in 1/10 the size shown. i been using 1"=50' with line scale factor 0.05 while my cowork has the same scale but with a factor or 0.5. this same issue occurs when she opens one of my files where the scale is too small or when i open one from her which turn too big.
has anyone seen this issue before or know what im talking about
Check the working units on the models/ drawings. One of you might have chosen the wrong seed file to start from.

There is also a reference file setting that allows more control over how reference line styles are scaled. It is only exposed in the Attachment Properties dialog box once a file is attached. This dialog box is similar to the one that opens during interactive reference attachment. We have to use it on some projects if we need to reference a file across our original V8 workspace standard and our newer V8i workspace standard. This dialog box is opened by double-clicking on the file name in the reference file dialog box. Near the bottom third of the dialog box is a Global LineStyle Scale option menu. Available settings are None, Reference Master and Reference*Master.
We default to Master if all files are in the new Standard but use Reference if the reference is from the old standard but the active file is in the new standard.

i got it to work when i reset my personal.ucf (deleted). i guessing it had do with me trying to reference a line style from a different .rsc file
