Remove object line weights does not work when printing

Anonymous

When I print a drawing and select the "Remove object line weights" option in the Print Drawing dialog the drawing is printed with the line weights still in place. If I export a pdf file and select the same option the line weights are removed.  It's like the print settings are being ignored. Ideas? I just installed the 2020.3 update and is was working previously.

Hi! One more place to check. Go to Tools -> App Options -> Drawing -> uncheck "Display Line Weights."

Does it work now?

Many thanks!

Hi! How did you print? Directly from Inventor or print as PDF or export as PDF and print? Please share an example here.

Many thanks!

The problem only occurs when I print from inventor and the remove object line weights box is ticked.

When I export to PDF the line weights are removed. 

 

But found a solution that works for me.

 

Edit all the layers in the style editor to 0.01mm and save the style to the style library.

When printing do not tick the remove object line weight box and then is will print based on my desired line weights.
