stay with me on this one. sorry if my editorial is confusing.

110,000 sq ft commercial project many sections call outs and drafting views. Workshare file

Would the Section detail with filled region diagonal hatch be affected if you change the scale of the same hatch in a drafting view?

Section detail 1/4" 

drafting view edit the hatch to 1/8".

drafting view is not a callout it is a dwg. I know I know but we are running out of time and this is our first full Rev project

make sense?

Here are the rules and they are simple:

Model patterns are like the model - they scale with the view.

Drafting patterns are just like text and other annotative elements.  They will always PRINT the same no matter the scale of the view.  If you have a diagonal hatch that prints at 1/8" spacing - it will print that way in every view - has nothing to do with the view scale.

Understood but not what I was asking. If I edit the scale of a hatch in a view it will revise the hatch throughout the entire project.

Change a diagonal hatch in the editor from 1/8" to 1/4" in a drafting view...changes the hatch size where applied in all views.

I did answer you! 

The drafting pattern will print the same in every view.  The only way to edit the "scale" of a custom drafting pattern is to reload at a different scale.  Is that what you did?  Or is it a simple pattern that you changed the spacings under the manage tab? 

Withe either of these, the change is project wide.  If you want a different spacing in one instance, you need a different pattern.
