204.3 Line Style Scales
During the development of a set of plans, it is common to reference the same basemap design file into
different detail sheet files that may be plotted at different scales. The location and dimensions of all plan
view basemap design file information shall be drawn in the default “Design” model using real world
dimensions at a 1:1 scale. Custom Line Styles are to be placed in the basemap at a scale of one (1) so
the Model Properties “Line Style Scale” feature can be used.
The Model Properties Line Style Scale feature can be used to control the display size of line styles in
the active design file, and in any Reference attachments. This will allow the designer to control the
display size of the line styles for any intended plotting scale.
All custom Line Styles should be placed at a scale of one (1) and then scaled using the Model
Properties Line Style Scale feature.
