    Default How do I get lines to print dark?

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I am creating dwf files and ploting from them. On some of my drawings the object lines are nice and dark. Others the lines are light. How do I get the light lines dark? I suspect that the reason they are light is because I have them as yellows or light colors.

    Make sure you use the same line color and pen table as the "dark" files and you should be ok.

    In the Plot window and Plot Device Tab, click on "monochrome.ctb" for Plot style table. You should get all dark lines with different weights based on your lineweight settings.
