LINEWEIGHTS DONT LOOK ON THE PDF

[busracetinkaya7L83C]

I checked my layers and all the alternative solutions about that but my lineweight doesnt look on the pdf 😞 please help me quickly because i have an exam one day later and i have to use different weight for my drawing.

Welcome to the community!

Are you saying that the lineweights do not look correct when you plot to PDF?

Is your drawing in 2D Wireframe or a different Visual Style?

What settings do you have in your Plot dialog?  What Plot Style table is selected?  Does that Plot Style table set lineweights or does it use the lineweights set in the drawing?  What Shade plot setting is selected?  Plot Styles are ignored in shaded viewports.  Is Plot with plot styles checked?  If you are plotting from a layout, is Scale lineweights checked?  (If so, uncheck it and see if that helps.)

I am sorry but I checked all of them what did you say sir, what do i do wrong? it still doesnt look on the pdf :((((

A quick scan of the out-of-the-box monochrome.ctb file that shipped with AutoCAD Architecture 2024 indicates that the Lineweight setting for each of the color-dependent plot styles is "Use object lineweight" - so your PDF plot should be reflecting the lineweights set in the drawing file.

I take it that is not the case, or at the least, the results are not what you expected.  

Are you looking at the lineweights as set on the Layers in your file?  If so, is the Lineweight property of all of your objects set to ByLayer?  If not, any explicit lineweight set on the object will take precedence.

Are you plotting AutoCAD objects, or AutoCAD Architecture AEC objects?  If the latter, then the active Display Representations for each object type (and any style or object overrides) will take precedence over settings on the Layer or Object.  A ByBlock setting would use the lineweight of the parent object.  A ByLayer setting would use the lineweight of the component Layer (if the component is set to Layer 0 with a ByLayer lineweight, then the lineweight of the Layer of the parent object would be used).

All of which is to say that the effective lineweight of any given graphic element of your plot may not be as straightforward as you might think.  Without an example drawing in hand, along with a description of what you expect and what you get, it is hard to give any specific advice.

@busracetinkaya7L83C Share a portion of your DWG file here please, confirm the issue is present and PLOT command is "not working" first.
