AutoCAD Architecture - Looking for a solution to make my batt insulation stay one scale throughout all viewports, but viewports have different scales.

As I stated in my title, I am looking for a way to keep my batt insulation linetype at a scale of 1/4"=1'-0" throughout all of the viewports in my project, even though some of the viewports are not at that scale. I have tried messing with the PSLTSCALE, MSLTSCALE, and LTSCALE without any success. I will also note that all objects were not drawn in this file, but drawn in a base file that I XREFed into my PRINT file. Any assistance would be great as I am at a loss.

The solution is not to use that linetype. You're posting in the ACA newsgroup, so we can assume that you have access to the ACA detailing features, which include advanced batt insulation generation.

I won't work with anyone using batt insulation linetypes in their details.

What specific tool allows this? I posted this to ACA as that is the program that is being used, but seeing that I was taught only using the regular version of AutoCAD, not Architecture.
I am also not concerned if your would work with someone that uses the linetypes or not. I asked a question, I would like help to a solution, not your beliefs. Not trying to sound rude, just don't know what tool your talking about.

I had success with using the BATTING linetype  by setting MSLTSCALE and PSLTSCALE both to 
"0".

Tool palettes, Detailing group, Basic tab. 

They're very large but worth it if you will be using ACA. Keep your properties palette open when using.
