Lineweights for printing to PDF

Scott Stoltenberg Jun 15, 2015 4:38 PM

Hey all-

Everytime I print to PDF, my lineweights always seem to print all the same weight.

This is even after I preview and see that the object lines are much thicker than the dimensions line thickness.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

This sounds like it is a setting within the pdf software you are using.

  I'm using CutePDf Writer if that helps. When i print to a hard copy it will actually print the lineweights properly and ive done everyhting in the pdf program i can think of to change it. And it shows in the preview but wont print with them...so i dunno....

    Have you tried saving the document as a pdf instead of printing it to pdf?
    If you click the options tab after selecting the pdf format you can change some of the settings there, if needed. I have left the defaults and seem to get good results.

Hi Scott Stoltenberg ,

Assuming your line weights are set in the document, there is a setting within the Print command that should help while in a drawing - File> Print. Click on Line Thickness

there are a few posts on this subject - searhc for print line weights or lione thickness CHANGING LINE THICKNESSES Hope it helps
