I finally figured out why my hatch pattern scaling kept messing up
Was working on a set of plans for a warehouse retrofit last week and spent 3 hours trying to fix hatching that looked off in some viewports but not others. Turns out my annotation scale was set different between paperspace and modelspace, which i never even checked before. Anyone else run into this sneaky issue with hatch scaling in different viewports?

Why not just use annotative scaling from the start and save the headache?

That one time I switched to annotative scaling and ended up with hatching that looked fine in model space but then completely disappeared in certain viewports. Ended up spending more time messing with annotative object settings than I ever did just manually adjusting hatch scales. I mean, for simple single-viewport drawings it's probably fine, but for something like a warehouse with 6 different detail viewports at various scales, I'd rather just set each hatch scale manually and know exactly what I'm looking at. Maybe it's just me but I've never had good luck with annotative objects behaving the way I expect across multiple layouts.
