Pinting lineweight problem

[Anonymous]

Hi, big problem about the printed lineweight from Autocad 2016.

The lineweight are not respect on Canon and HP printer models.

We have to do a .pdf to remedy but the Customer dont want to do that.

All the firmware are up to date on the printer as well AutoCAD 2016.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

>> The lineweight are not respect on Canon and HP printer models.

Devices can't ignore the lineweights, so I guess it has more to do with PC3 settings or CTB/STB settings or the setting for lineweights in the plot dialog.

Also make sure you are plotting 1:1 as scale setting in the plot-dialog.

The easiest way to check that is the setting you use for creating a PDF ==> only change the driver to your HP or Canon driver, nothing else ==> when you have seen the lineweights in the PDF you should see them now on the devices too.
