Revit 2014 Thin Lines mode affecting printing

[BobbyC.Jones]

Is anyone else experiencing the Thin Lines mode printing with thin lines, not just affecting the view display?

[constantin.stroescu]

it would be a method:

• select the view you want to print with thin lines 
• from Properties >RC > Duplicate View > Duplicate with Detailing
• in the new created view select all (cross selection) > View > Override Graphics in View > Override by Element >View Specific Element Graphics > change Projection Lines and Cut Lines to 1
• Don't print at a scale higher that the scale of the view...

What I mean is Revit 2014 is doing something that I've never seen any version of Revit do before.  When the Thin Lines mode is toggled on it is not only displaying all lines as thin lines, it's also printing them that way.  If I can't get this figured out we're going to go through a lot of paper!

And to make it more interesting, it prints normally to DWF; it's only hardcopy prints that are affected.

I'm not seeing that here, I don't know what would cause thin lines to print as displayed other than printscreen

Oh wow....yeah, I see what your talking about...

[BobbyC.Jones]

Are those scans of hardcopies?  That's exactly what I'm seeing  😞

[mpwuzhere]

They are prints to PDF and I just did a couple of snips from the pdf...

Anyway...

Really this isn't that big of a deal....its just another button you have to make sure is turned off before you print...since TL isn't a view by view setting.

Spoke too soon, I was just looking at the model walls. Annotation lines appear to be the items affected by this.

[mpwuzhere]

Yeah, schedules, view titles, dimensions...etc...

[derrickmoore]

Need a hotfix for this one

[BobbyC.Jones]

I concur! Hotfix STAT!

Thanks for keeping us in the loop Lance!

Same issue here - and as a relatively new Revit user, I thought it was me...

Update 1 for Revit 2014 has been released, and includes the following in the Enhancements PDF:

"Corrects visual fidelity of objects in printed output which show as “Thin Lines” in drawing canvas"

Has anyone been able to verify that the update fixes the issue for them?

[BobbyC.Jones]

Confirmed!  Thanks for the followthrough and letting us know that the fix arrived Lance.

I installed SP3 for Revit 2014 and it fixed the callout line weight plotting issue.   I was hoping it would fix an additional issue we were encountering.  The architect is using a filled region to mark a designated area.  In our MEP model, this designated area is turned off.  When we plot, our devices that are in that area do not plot.  The annotation associated with the device still plots.  We tried everything we could think of in visibility graphics.  The only thing we could do is delete the filled region prior to linking.
