Hi, 

 

I am using a fence line X to indicate demolition for a mechanical plan. I had a colleague send a sample project using the demolition line but when I tried to copy it over it looks visually off. Is there any way to help?

I have determined that the font within the line type scale is the cause of this discrepancy. Is there any way to fix it

If your colleague also include the linetype definition file which typically has a .lin filetype extension, then you can open that up with Notepad and see the name of the Text Style that fence line X is using. Then in the original drawing enter the STYLE command, select the Style and see the font associated with that Style which you can then replicate in your dwg.
