Hi @U3213370 

 

Line thicknesses and colours are controlled by the CTB file which is setup in the page setup manager 

 

This page explains where these options are and how to change the thickness - https://advantage.graitec.com/en-US/knowledgebase/article-details/?code=KA-03132

 

The colours that are used on drawings are controlled in the management defaults, if you expand Drawing Presentention you will see colours

the details which are located in the layout tab are not showing the line thickness...you need to activate the lineweight:

You also could deactivate the lineweight in PDF (for having a better view) just press CTRL+5

If you use the standard 'out of the box' AS presentation / colours, then you might find the attached .ctb file helpful.

 

The drawing presentation using the standard .ctb file is extremely poor.  Lines are far too heavy, and it is extremely hard to read drawings.
