Lines not printing as set

Hi, my problem is that I'm trying to print a sheet but the lines are coming out too thick.

I have set the line weights to 0.05 in Line Weights and made sure the object styles match my needs. In screen I can see it the way I want it but the moment I print it to PDF it comes out thick

 

I'm using Adobe PDF as printer and Revit 2017 if that's helpful.

Are you sure Thin Lines is toggled off in order to see how the lines actually look?

Yes, that's toggled off, I even tried to print it with thin lines On but they still come out thick

Can you share the PDF and a screenshot of the Revit sheet with Thin lines OFF? Have you tried a different PDF printer?

Sure thing.

I tried Microsoft PDF printer but didn't work + it bugs out (freezes) my printing options

Alright after doing some research I found out the minimum line weight revit plots is 0.85mm. I don't understand why but I urgently need a solution or a workaround please.

No way the minimum line weight when print out is 0.85 mm. That is fat.

 

0.075mm per https://knowledge.autodesk.com/search-result/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/Printing-lines-thinner-t...

@GastonBC ,

 

Check if you have applied 'Cut line Styles' in the VG. (See attachment)

 

-Also if you have Overrided graphics by element/Category.

-Check also if a View Template is applied or filters.
