AutoCAD 2010/2011/2012 DWG Format

[#1]

The line weights in the xref are as they should be - I can change the line weight (plot by layer/color) and it plots correctly;  when I attached this file to another drawing, the line weights do not plot.  I can change the layer color to modify the weight (.ctb file) and the correct line weight appears on the monitor, but when I plot - the line weight looks like a standard default width.

I checked the lwdefault in the xref and three other drawings, and in every drawing it is set to '25'; the lines are lines (not plines), and have a zero elevation.  The units are the same as the other drawings;

I believe it's a setting in the drawing (not the xref) - but I have no idea what setting it might be.

Any suggestions??

Check the plot style table in the target drawing.  That will affect the lineweights of xrefs. You might also disable visretain temporarily and reload the drawing and then re-enable visretain.  This allows the layer settings to migrate from xref to target.
