Lineweights of same object types display differently

[tkendrick]

I have two light fixtures I downloaded from the same manufacturer. When I place each light fixture one has a different lineweight than the other. I've checked both families, they both are the same category. The Symbolic Lines used for the annotation symbol are the same. The object styles in both the project and the families are the same. Even though I know that the Project Object Styles take precedence over Family Object Styles. I've even deleted the symbolic lines from the original families and entirely re-created the annotation symbol, but when reloaded into the project, one has the correct line thickness and one does not. There are no Element Overrides in place, I simply loaded each family and placed an instance on a ceiling. I don't know where else to look in order to get the lineweights of the same object category to be different or the same.

The attached PDF shows the light fixtures and how their lineweights are different.

They have the same Phase, Same elevation, Same host, as far as I can tell everything is same between these fixtures.

Any ideas?

I found my own solution. After 3 hours of trying to figure it out.

The View Range on the view I was working in, the Top was set at 10'0" and the View Depth was set at 14'0" both from Associated Level. The lights that weren't displaying the "correct" lineweight, were at elevation 10'0". When I adjusted the Top of the View Range beyond 10'0" the lineweight issue was corrected. I'm remembering now that out of range, but within View Depth objects display differently.

Nice detective work. Objects within View Depth utilize the <Beyond> line style.
