Object lineweights appear different but have identical properties

Object lineweights appear different but have identical properties

I'm working on a drawing and noticing that two lines on the same layer have different lineweights , but when I check the properties of each line, they are the same.  Does anyone have an idea what might cause that or how to fix it?  I tried adjusting the lineweights but found that it didn't change anything.

Hi,

more than one idea, but why guessing, uppload your facts (DWG & Screenshot).

In  a copy of your file, delete all except these two lines, share this file.

I agree with CADffm.. upload the dwg.

But are they lines or Plines ?

Explode then check.

It was more of work around. Drew a line with the correct properties (line type/weight) and then used MATCHPROP command for the lines I actually wanted. Maybe not the most efficient way to do it but it worked.

The most common reason I've seen for this is that the LINEs have differing Z-values at each end.  The greater the difference, the greater the compression of the linetype.
