Xrefs from Autocad and linescales

I'm xrefing a drawing from Autocad, with several different linetypes. A survey. The survey is at actual scale 1' = 1'. I xref it into AC9, but the linetype scales don't show up correctly.

I tried importing it into a drawing at 1'=1', and also 1'=10", which will be the final drawing size. Nothing seems to make a difference. The linetype is correct through the translator, but the scale of the line is so small that it will print as a solid line.

Any way to change the scale of the line either through the translator or through drawing scales.

Will I have to create a new line type in AC9 to correspond to what I want, than match it with the line I want to change in the translator? That seems like I'm doing what AC should be doing automatically.
