xRef line type fail

V 21.02.09.00 (PE), seems like I keep having line types not show up correctly in my xref's. My master has a layer with property line type showing the property limits and another sewer layer with dashed lines. I had just placed a "sewer line" type to my master, then when updating my Site Sheet, the dashed lines show up as a very large spacing "sewer line" but with the "S" missing. My propery line time from another layer in the master shows up as a solid line. I've seen this before; seems like many line types reference in as solid lines, but I have designated nothing special for xref or layer. I can specify xref or layer as "original" linetype and still does not import correctly.

Hi Dwight,

Try Ctrl+Right Clicking on your xref, and select XRef properties. Check that your Line Spacing matches your Enlargement factors or that it is set to a value that makes sense for your current use.

Thanks, Josh, but it was "Identify", left click. Spacing was 40'; changed to 1'. All is well in MO!

Glad that worked for you Dwight!

Does Ctrl+Right clicking work on any entities for you? The Ctrl+Right Click context menus offer a ton of features for all entities, just don't want you missing out. If they are not working it would be worth finding out why they are not.

Sorry, missed the "control" part. Yes, Ctrl+Right Click works; haven't used it.
