Hi,
I imported an AutoCAD file as a link and noticed the linetypes are not showing correctly (everything shows "continuous").
I googled for a solution and found a suggestion to import at 1:1 scale and then changing to 1/4"=1'-0".
That worked, but when I reload the file or save an close, the linetypes where all showing continuous again...
Is there a fix for this?
I also noticed that there is no option on the properties for "foreground"/"Background" - not sure how I removed that setting...
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

When you reload the CAD link, choose retain visibility graphic overrides.
The Background Foreground options are only available if you link or import the CAD file with Current View Only box checked.
Maybe I'm missing your point. This is what I see in AutoCAD and Revit (with black backgrounds):
The only things I did was set LTSCALE to 1 and all elements colors to BYLAYER. The Revit screenshot is the AutoCAD's default appearance. No VGO's have been applied.
DWG file with associated xrefs attached
I'm not clear what's happening at your end, or what is supposed to happen on my end when these XREFs are included, but this is the AutoCAD v. Revit comparison I'm looking at with Linetype Scale set to 1.
Maybe I'm missing something. If so, point it out to me.

Not sure if that makes sense…
No it doesn't. If the drawing is drawn correctly then you always link or import it in at 1:1 given you choose the correct import units.
I don't get the "changing the scale to 1/4" part. Change where? 1/4" scale is normally referred to a view scale such as 1/4" = 1', not an element scale.
Can you post a couple of screenshots showing what you see before and after reloading? Use a black background so I can clearly see the CAD Linework in the screenshots.
So, this is about the patterned linework becoming continuous at a certain view scales? That's no different than Revit linework. It's correctable though. Through VGOs.
I think I see what's going on now. You have overlapping linework (on two different layers) in your AutoCAD File.
