Grids, Callouts and Sections not displaying or printing correctly

I am having a problem with the way my Callouts, Grids and Sections are being displayed and printed. I have the object styles for each set to the line thickness I want for example:

Callouts,

Line weight = 4

Grids,

Line weight = 6

Sections,

Line weight = 4

Each of the line weights are displaying and printing as "1".

I have tried overriding by elements with no luck I can change the color and line pattern but change the line weight it doesn't update on the plans.

I have been using revit for 5 years and can usually trouble shoot my problems on my own.

this one has got me stumped.

I've tried my VG settings.

My thin line tool is not on.

I even went through the visibility hierarchy from highest to  lowest.

There is no phases, and no one else is working in my project.

I hope you can see something I have missed.

thanks for your help.

Is Thin Lines turned off? 

 

.oops. Miss the part where you said TL was turned off.  So, what your are saying, is that Revit isn't printing WYSIWYG? In other words, the printed output is different from what you see on the screen?

I would be thinking printer -- not Revit.  What is the printer?

Have you checked line weight table and see if the numbers are assigned with proper widths?

Open another project/model or a template where everything prints fine and to your liking...And transfer Project Standards (Line Weights Only) from that model to this project where the Line Weights are messed up and Overwrite

barthbradley and You nailed it. I linked another revit model and then bind it so my annotation line weights were all defaulted.
Thanks for seeing what I missed, you guys rock.
