I've noticed that when I create multiple work areas, each at a different scale, the LFX hatches that I use for plant material scale automatically to match the work area scale. This can be troublesome when a sheet viewport shows two different hatch scales for the same plant material. Should I manually change the hatch scales or is there a better way around this, like an option to disable automatic hatch scaling?

The best workaround would be to move your work areas into an Xref. That way you could easily detach it when you want it to be ignored.

Thanks for the link, Jeremiah. By doing this, would I have to create a separate Work Area XREF for each scale? For example, an XREF for all 1:20 work areas, an XREF for all 1:40 work areas, etc.? Then I would place all my hatches at whatever the project's standard scale was, lets say 1:100, so that they all appear at the same scale? I would then turn on/off the XREF Work Areas as necessary for labeling purposes?
That sounds right.
Or, of course you could separate the job to 3 different drawings.
But I'm not really privy to the particulars of the project, what the need is for the different scales, and why these hatches are crossing different areas.
