Problem

Custom line types appear different sizes at different scales.

Product: MicroStation SE

Solution

Line styles do not always have to be the same, they can be set to different scales.

When you scale a linestyle, you are changing the size of the line styles. The scaling of dashed lines does not have to be the same.

To change the scale of the linestyles, go to:

Edit menu > Select By Attributes, and select all the linestyles you want to change.

Then go to

Element > Line Styles > Custom and set the Scale Factor you want.

Next, select the Change Element Attributes tool, and place a data point in space in the view window.

All the selected linestyles will now be updated.
