Print Woes

I am printing a perspective view to my HP 430. I have set VG overrides so
all lines to print at a width of 1. They plot fat. What gives? Thanks!

I am dead! I printed out my perspective view several times the other day
and it printed fine; nice thin lines! Now that my boss AND the rendering
artist AND the client are standing next to me - I can't reproduce what I did
just days before. I just get fat lines; completely unusable. I have tried
everything I know how to do.

1 - Set ALL my line weights in VG for the view to be 1
2 - Set All my lineweights to be 1
3 - Set all my perspective line weights to be 1
4 - Tried a fast plot.
5 - Tried a final plot
6 - Tried raster processing
7 - Tried vector processing
8 - Processed the drawing in the computer as well as in the plotter

Nothing has changed on my plotter configuration.

Days like these are why I don't own a firearm!

Please help.

P.S. Hey Autodesk where do I send my resume, I will be looking next week.

did you turn on Silouette Edges in the Shadows dialog box by accident?

I'm not using shadows but I checked and no. Thanks for the suggestion
though.

what's the "size" of the perspective view? let's say its set to be 4" x 4",
make it something like 12" x 12"

That sounds interesting but how do I do that?

I figured out how to resize it as you suggested; easy as pie. That was it
man!!! Now I can have a weekend and not worry. Sometimes I think the
biggest problem with Revit is a lack of clear, PRINTED documentation. Thank
you!
