It's currently showing as something speckled... Concrete? Stucco? Sand? Not 100% (which is what I'd prefer, thanks).
I'd also like to be able to change the font of the graphic scale, but don't think that's as possible... but if anyone knows how, I'd take that advice.
Thank you for any insight you can lend...

One way to test his hypothesis is to look at other library parts that you know used to have Solid Fill. If they have gone speckley then the issue is probably with the Fills assignment.

On another recent post it was suggested that this can happen after importing an Autocad file and accepting the new fills in that file. This can also screw up your ArchiCAD layer, apparently. Basically, this whole problem appears to be a software STD and as such you need to take appropriate precautions (especially when it comes to drawings titled
Laszlo - this sounds intriguing... There aren't any parameters in the drawing (and then the title tab) selection information to change fills. But I can see how the script may say "fill 42" or whatever, and the fill attributes are set differently than originally programmed....... ?
David - The "Title with Layout No 12" has, under the "additional info" bit (not, as one might assume, the "scale" part) in the parameters, the option to show a graphic scale (see Chazz'z pic).
Chazz - I can see where you're coming from, but.... This was a fresh-built file started from nearly zero. New File>Use Latest Project Settings, and I'm the only one to have worked in it. And I'm fairly certain that the latest project had solid fills in the graphic scale.
The graphic scale library part is also filled funny (it's durock, apparently)... I tried changing the attributes there, in case the title object used the graphic scale object from the library. It didn't seem to work for either existing instances or newly added drawings, and was not attribute-transferrable. This does seem to argue for the fill-mapping error... Any idea how to fix that part?
Thanks for your ideas thus far...
Edit: On second thought, nevermind. Before we put out this (tiny) project, I'm just gonna fill the graphic scales in properly manually. So far it's just this one file, and I've only got one sheet (maybe 2 by the time we're done), so screw it. If this happens again, tho, I'm repopping this thread. Thanks again guys.
