CAD Line weights get overridden to be thicker in BIM 360 when printing files with very large extents

CAD drawing using 1:500 scale prints with very thick line weights overriding the generic line weights that have been assigned by Revit. We are referencing the view from a separate file and using a view reference "by linked view". Due to the vast area of the drawing (over 33k), we have removed the title block and allowed it to print to full extents. It seems BIM 360 is over riding the proscribed lines weights to be much thicker when shown in PDF and are unreadable at 1:500. The below image is the CAD file at 1:500 shown in PDF form and below that is a 1:200 call out that reads fine. We have tried overriding the CAD line weights to be a 1 in the parent view and still no update in the referenced "by view" plot.
