PDF Linewights

Why is that my PDF drawing is showing different lineweights  when I have the same size lineweight on all the layers. I also set  lineweight for every object to be by layer.

Hi,

 

>> PDF drawing is showing different lineweights

can you please describe which lineweights differ?

 

Zooming into the PDF (to see it by 100%) shows me same lineweights ...

Alfred, you are right I didn't zoom in 100%. It appears they are all the same lineweights. So any reason why some lines appear light than others when you are not zoomed out 100%?

Hi,

In principle ... It's a thing of pixels on the monitor, if you have a lineweight in a zoom factor that is as wide as 1 and a half pixel on the screen then this half pixel gets sometimes a real painted pixel and sometimes a not displayed pixel ... and that looks in the first case wide, in the second case small.
