Drawing wil not print or export to pdf properly

All of a sudden I cannot print or export a file to pdf.  When I do it does not appear as an engineering drawing.  The lines appear as if drawn with a fat marker.  Text and dimension lines do not appear.  I opened one of your sample drawings that came with Autocad and it did the same thing.  Therefore, I am concerned that something is corrupt in Autocad or a setting has changed on software launch.

Hi,

 

I got that you are using AutoCAD LT for Mac.

 

Here are the solutions:
Open the Page Setup dialog, if you are using a plotstyle, please update it as for all colors the lineweight shall be 0. If you are not using a plotstyle, you can uncheck the option "Print object lineweights" in the Print Options in the Page Steup dialog.

 

Thanks,
Wei

What does "...cannot get it to print a pdf..." mean to us?
Which PDF driver are you trying to use? Got another one to test with?
LT2015 is about 5-years old now: so what changed recently with your system? Something did.
