Grey lines when plotting to pdf...

Only happens on angled or curved lines like this.

Why does it do that? And how do I change it to all black lines?

Have you checked your plot settings? I.e pen type, linewights, colours and shade plot.

Have you checked your plot settings? I.e pen type, linewights, colours and shade plot.

Are these all found in the page setup manager?

I've got the quality set to maximum under Shaded Viewport Options and I've got Display Plot Styles option checked with it set to monochrome.

Ok, should print cleanly, is the line all one colour? I know it's a daft question but lets eliminate all possibilities.

It prints out black but is grey on screen, weird.

Unless it's going to cause you a major problem change it to another colour and try that.

I noticed when I zoom up real close on it in pdf the lines change back to black.

How bizarre, well at least it's sorted.

Hi,

Im having the same problem with a drawing I am doing. It doesnt seem to be lineweight, colour or any of those parameters. The pdf will print in black and thats fine but I also need the lines in the PDF to appear black. Yes its true the lines turn black when they are zoomed into but its simply not professional enough to send out to my client in that state. Just wondering whether you found a solution to this problem or an explanation on why this happens at all?

I have not found a solution yet.
