Match attributes, scale and hatch

Good afternoon [well afternoon to those of you in Sydney],
I have the following problem, thats more an annoyance than anything else but if there is an explanation I would like to know what it is.
I have two simple rectangles hatched with different patterns.
When I do a match properties on the hatch, the hatch in one of the rectangles become way too dense. When I check the properties, both are in the same layer, both have the same hatch type and both have the same scale. How can it be that one hatch is readable while the other is not?
Thanks

it may be that one is using an imperial version of
the hatch. In your drawing MEASUREMENT should be set to 1 to
use the metric versions of acadiso.pat and acadiso.lin When you change it from 0 (which half of australia
uses because they don't know the difference) to 1 you need to reload each
linetype to get it to update to the metric version. Hatches are a little
different but I noticed that one didn't update the hatch definition and
continued to use the old imperial definition but it did update the scale.
Not sure of the quickest way to force the
update. Try double click on the hatch, changing to a different hatch patten
and then change back and it should then refer to the new
definition.
Good

BTW nice to hear someone else in Aus is using
ACA(ADT). Are you with a company or individual?
