Turn your Thin Lines OFF -- and be amazed.

  • what does it look like in your view/on a sheet?
  • Are your Thin Lines (TL) turned on when your plotting? 
    • if so turn them off, this will not effect plotting, but having thin lines on can deceive you into thinking elements have no weight.

hi @asal_keyhani1993 

Try using Microsoft Print to PDF instead of Adobe.

 

I too faced your issue, like you I use an external application PDF24 creator to convert PDF,

So it also makes lines too dark and then I change my Printer to Microsoft, My problem gets solved.

So try it once.

hi @asal_keyhani1993 

Change Scale and try it, because sometimes, scaling also makes drawing lines too dark.
