Two strokes with the same stroke width (1 pt) show up as different sizes.

I have 2 shapes in my Illustrator file that both have the same stroke width (1 pt), but they are appearing as completely different stroke widths.

I started a new illustration and needed to start by copying & pasting an element from a different illustration to the new one. I had to scale the pasted graphic down to fit the artboard, so I selected "scale strokes & effects," which worked fine. But now, as I add new elements to the illustration and try to match the strokes and effects of the pasted element, the stroke width is completely messed up. 

1pt stroke on the pasted element looks fine. 1pt stroke on the new elements (even when using the eyedropper) are about 4x as thick. What is going on, and how to do I make the stroke widths match?

Is the zoom percentage the same in both documents?

I am having the same issue, did you ever find a fix for this?

THere are a number of reasons this could happen. Are you using an artbrush for hte thicker stroke? Is there more than one stroke applied to the path when you look in the Appearance panel?

1. Try to set the stroke of both objects as None and then set it 1 pt again.

2. Check the stroke properties: it might have the brush applied (Art brush or Calligraphic brush), or the Width profile. They can set their own dimensions.

seems that different brush difination, check the stroke brush type.. am sure they are different.

Ah I missed the brush. It was set to uniform, but changing the brush was the fix. Thank you!
