Lineweight not the same when printed to pdf

[Anonymous]

Hi, i am new here and hope you can help me.

Please note:

1. All  objects in the drawing, Lineweight is set to "by layer" even in the model space and viewport.

2. VP Lineweight is the same with the lineweight (layer manager).

3. My plot style is i set it to "none" so all the layer will follow what i assigned in the layer manager.

When it is printed to pdf, the drawing is all the same lineweight. i want the same lineweight, same i set it in the layer manager.

Thank you.

Hi,

>> When it is printed to pdf, the drawing is all the same lineweight.

If @imadHabash does not help it would be great to see the drawing + the info about which driver you have selected to plot to PDF.

For output to PDF make sure your PDF-settings are using more than 300dpi output resolution.

If not selected, try the "DWG to PDF.pc3" driver

When you open the PDF in a viewer then zoom close enough to your lines for checking their line-weights, because if you plot to A0 and see the complete A0 format on your monitor then you can't differentiate line-weights < 0.5mm.

If you can show us your drawing and your PDF we might find faster what's the reason in your situation.

Hi Alfred,

I am having the same issue.. Last week I kept trying things and it worked eventually. Today I have made some changes to my drawing and tried everything I did last week, nothing is working.. I can see the lineweights on the layout but not when I print to pdf. I have attached the file if you can have a look. Thank you.
