PDF PLotting too light

Anonymous — Tue, 26 Mar 2019 13:50:07 GMT

Lately, all of my drawings are plotting too light. Everything checks out, settings-wise, as far as I know...Some objects, such as title block and 3D outlines are solid/bold as they should be.

However, all of my linework within the blocks and objects prints so faint it is hardly readable.

I have looked at the layer transparency; screening; pen settings; etc. I even copied everything into a new dwg on a different version. STILL WRONG.

ATTACHED IS A PDF OF MY ISSUE. I can submit a dwg as well, if needed.

ANY TIPS/IDEAS?

No need for multiple posts... one will suffice.

I'd check the page set-up manager to see what the plot options are checked(i.e. plot object lineweights). Next I'd check the layers the linework is on to see what color is being used and what lineweight the layer is set to. last i check is the plot style being used. (i.e. .ctb file). The color that each layer is using will be shown in the .ctb file. it'll show what thickness and color to plot at.
