Publish to PDF gives thick lines

We use the Auto publish on each save to generate up to date PDF's. What settings are used for this plt? I want all thin lines, with no lineweigth, but can't find a way to set it.

 

Many Thanks, Johan

How are you manually plotting these layouts now with all thin lines and no lineweights?  Just do the same by creating named page setups and assign the name to the layouts

If I plot manually with Autocad to PDF (general documentation).PC3, it plots fine

but not if it is generated automatically with the publish setting in Options.

Have you tried creating a pagesetup with those plot settings and then assigning that page setup to the layout?

While on that layout enter Plot command, do a screenshot and share that here

When you use Publish command on that layout does that work?

Your autopublish screenshot is not how you control what you need @johan_degreef1 

PAGESETUP command needs to be preset for the output you want ahead of time and saved in the DWG file first. It appears you've skipped that step.

 

AutoCAD has no ability to remember one plot setting from a file then apply to all other files all by itself when you use autopublish (or plot or publish).
