Plotting lineweights - ignore draw order

I have one user in my office who has a plotting issue - her draw order is screwed up, so every time she plots, there are thin gray lines going through lines that are meant to be heavier.  Is there a way to instruct CAd to ignore draw order, so that whatever the darkest line is in a plane overrides anything on top of it?

 

Thanks,

Kelly

To clarify - have you tried going through the file, selecting different lines, right-clicking, selecting "draw order" and setting it how you want it?

 

Is the draw order "screwed up" in that:

 

1.) someone has not fixed the draw order in the dwg itself and you want a quick way to fix it without having to go back through every single line,

 

or

 

2.) the draw order in the dwg is actually how you want it, but it prints the draw order incorrectly?

Number 1 - I just want the darkest line to override any draw order issues in the drawing.

 

Thanks!

No idea, I've always had to do it line-by-line.

 

Are the darkest lines on a separate layer than everything else? If so, you could try freezing the other layers then highlighting the darker lines and selecting to bring to front before unfreezing other layers.
