Apr 27, 2016 - Autodesk released a manual Hotfix for Civil 3D 2016 SP2 that fixes Feature Line errors that may result from AUDIT.
Broken Feature Lines in Civil 3D 2016 SP2
Autodesk didn't and does not exactly advertise this problem. This is one of those real painful things to discover the hard way. This was particularly galling to me after all the hype about Feature Line functionality in Civil 3D 2016 in Service Pack 2.
While it is NOT stated here this issue may also explain some Import Style issues with Feature Lines after 2016 SP2.
Remember to use manual drag and drop to overwrite or update Feature Line Styles in Civil 3D.
