Lineweight refuses to change

Hi,

 

I am using Autocad 2D for a drawing, and my lineweight refuses to plot correclty. I didn't use a ctb file, but I changed them by hand each one. Most of them works correctly but some of them not. When I go to the properties window, every of them have the good lineweight, it's when I plot them in pdf file and open them in Adobe reader, some still have the 0mm (wrong lineweight). However they show they are the good size in properties window, but they plot differently.

 

I just realize that when it shows in adobe reader it shows the wrong lineweight, but if I convert the pdf into a jpeg and open it with windows photo viewer, it shows the correct lineweight.

 

 

 

Any idea what could cause this??

 

Thank you,

 

Vanessa

changed them by hand?
Perhaps your PDF viewer is the culprit if this is a display only problem: try something other than Adobe Acrobat to confirm.

Well I just sent me the file via e-mail and view it over the web, and then the lineweight were perfect!!

Yep, Acrobat acts weird indeed: see attached, these settings work for me but I prefer to just use another free PDF viewer altogether.
