Fed uses the 1B-3B line in baseball ("contacts fair ground on or beyond an imaginary line between first and third base"), but for reasons known only to them does not use it in softball. I don't know of any other code that uses that line, though many coaches and even umpires have tried to make such a claim to me in both OBR and ASA.

In its baseball clinics, Fed emphasizes that rule, which is probably why so many people have assumed that it applies to other codes.
Maybe it was only in baseball, but around here, it was taught as a Fed softball rules for years.
