My ctb file is not plotting the lineweights when saving as a pdf

I have a ctb file that ive been using for a long time now. I know it works because it doesnt have any problems when doing the same thing on my schools computer. But on my laptop, whenever i apply the ctb file and click display plot styles, it will do so on the layout and change the colors to black. But once I want to plot it to a pdf, it does not plot the lineweights. I have attached my ctb file and a pdf to show what its doing. I tried changing the type of file to save (Adobe pdf, dwg to pdf, etc) and I tried to make a new ctb file but nothing seems to be working.

What about the plot preview (Command: Preview)?

Does it look correct?

post your CTB as well, with it, us looking at your DWG file means nothing.

Thanks.

No, the plot preview isnt showing it either. Its still black and white but the lineweights are displaying.

Hi,

 

I am not able to replicate this issue on my end on AutoCAD 2018 and 2020. The plotted pdf (see attachment)does show the lineweight as per the ctb. It could be a problem with the plotter. Try changing the plotter to DWG to PDF.pc3 and then plot it to pdf.
