I have seen similar issues posted here and I have tried many solutions to no avail.
When I plot individual sheets to pdf, they print fine (plot from model)- plot setting:
Result:
When I use PUBLISH to PDF in project manager certain lines print at a different weight. Lines are same layer with same properties in the drawing
Publish settings:
result:
Can you type PAGESETUP command and open the "Elec Plot" settings, and post a screenshot please.
Also, does checking the box plot object lineweights help?

Hi @arshdeepsingh404 Thanks for your reply. elec plot screen shot:
If I select plot object lineweights it helps on that particular line but prints all others with a really heavy weight and all the text very light. I've inherited the dwg's so some of the layer settings are probably off, however still doesnt explain why lines on the same layer print differently.
Hi @arshdeepsingh404 I have been trying many different options to get this to work but still no success. I get very nice pdf's when I individually plot but once I try and publish through manager the line weights are just not great.
I tried using PLOT from the project manager menu instead. See screen shots. These settings are the same as individual plots. This time I get a blank sheet except for the plot stamp!
Do all of the drawings use the same plot settings when doing a batch plot?
Can you try creating a new named page setup using the PAGESETUP command on the very first drawing? Then, during batch plot, Press CTRL+A to select all drawings, and from the drop-down, select the new page setup that you created.
Also, try using the monochrome pen assignment.
I think I will need to look at drawing files to do more troubleshooting, Is it possible for you to share a couple of dwgs?

Hello @russell_bumfordDGN6N
Check out the settings I used and attached PDF results.
Batch Plot (PUBLISH)
Single Page Plot
The results look pretty similar.
One thing I did change was to set PDFSHX to 0, This can sometime leads to light liveweights and SHX text comments in PDF.

Did you get a chance to try the PDFSHX suggestion that I mentioned above?
