Layers plot differently

Anonymous — Tue, 08 Oct 2019 06:52:13 GMT

Hello, I'm currently using CAD 2015 and very confused with these lines where it is the same layers/same color/same lineweights but when I PDF the drawing it comes out differently. I even copy the same line that is working when I plot to the one that doesnt work, it is still come out with the same linescale. Please find the attachments the (1) in the model, the (2) jpg is the drawing after I PDF. If someone has any clue of what to do, kindly reply me the solution. very much appreciated. Thanks

Hi,

Kindly check your CTB file, while plotting. There might be different line weight set based on the color.

Take a screenshot of your plot window and post for each instance.

Hi,

I've checked that already, the lineweight is fine. I did make a new layer with same line..still the same outcome. The weird part here is when I preview the drawing everything is correct. However, when I PDF the drawing it comes out differently. I did try to straight print the drawing from autocad file w/o PDF it, still the same outcome. Very confusing. Please find the attachment (3) my drawing in preview mode.

Hi,

Please find the attachment of the color I used for the line (code: 211). I'm plotting using Layout. I have no issue with the layer before when I'm using cad 2014. I changed to another PC with cad 2015 somehow it doesnt work right with these layers even when I'm using the same CTB and same file setting.
