Welcome to the forum.
You have to create the needed line weights in the styles library. Than on each of these A1 and A3 sheets, change the specific line weights needed to these newly created line styles. Not to mention when you create them in the styles you need to save them to the library.

Sounds like you need to increase the size of your Line Thickness in the Style Manager for your Template for the A1 because of the "compression/scale factor" that's taking place to fit the drawing on the smaller output size. Inventor doesn't hold the line-width size when you print the drawing to a smaller sheet size.

You need to go here to the styles and create a new layer style in each of the templates.
Are you saying you have done this already?

What you are doing is incorrect. The line weight is set for the drawing at 1:1 scale. Think back to the days of plotters and using pens. If you selected a pen of 0.060mm for a line color or layer and it contained text. You then plotted the drawing to a 1:2 scale it would still use the 0.060mm pen and all you would have is a black ink blob. With the change to Laser and Inkjet type printers, the line weight is calculated in Inventor or Acad and then the Windows print program scales down all the line weights by the overall scale factor used for the drawing. You will need to create a drawing template with scaled up line weights if you wish for this outcome. So if you are printing at 1/2 scale, your line-weights will need to be 2X.

What you are now fighting is a Windows printing environment issue not an Inventor issue. Since Windows 3.0 Microsoft now tells the software companies how they must output their printing.

Because a font is a font, it's controlled by the Font. A thicker font would then be a Bold and not regular. AutoCAD still harkens back to the Dos days and pen plotters. I've used so little AutoCAD since switching to Inventor (over 14 years ago), I can barely spell AutoCAD let alone work with it anymore.

You could make a custom symbol. The problem is the stock section symbol is called in for in the Standard Style you are using. ANSI or ISO.

The standard symbols that you get in Inventor when creating drawings and section views are based on drawing standards such as ANSI for North America and ISO and DIN standards for Europe and Japan. So these and automatically inserted when you create drawings with your drawing standards selected. You can create new Icons such as the shape you circled in you post and insert these into your drawing. I don't think you can get custom icons to automatically insert into the drawing. I've never played with this aspect since we use the ANSI standard for our drawings.
