Vector graphics from CC library distorted when saving to server

Something going on with my CC library graphics. Using a shared library with another team member, I place a graphic into Illustrator. It looks great on my end—but when I save it, and move it onto our shared server, it's completely unusable. This is despite the fact that she has access to the same CC library that I pulled it from. Any ideas what could be causing this?

It's about 325 pts x 305 pts.

Sometimes small graphics give a distorted appearance when the document they are placed in has View > Snap to Pixel enabled.

What is the size of these graphics?

Looks to be about 2 MB

Sorry, I meant the size in points, inches or mm.

Please describe the process step by step.

How is the artwork built? Using graphic styles? Are those dotted lines dashed strokes? Did you scale them?

And then: how exactly do you save it and when does it show these wrong formattings?

Thanks for the help. Looks to be graphic styles, yes. And they are dashed stokes as well. I scaled them slightly when placing.

I was saving as an Ai file — and then my teammate opens the same Illustrator file.
