Line Size/Weight Changing when Copying.

Recommended Posts

When I'm copying a drawing from one dwg and pasting onto a new one the line weight or sizes are changing for some reason and when printing in A3 the drawing loses it's sharpness.

 

The strange thing is that when i look at the properties the line size and weight still appear to the same - does anyone have any idea what's happening and how i can stop it? Using Autocad 2008.

 

Thanks.

Yeah they were initially. The drawing i was copying from was monochrome and the drawing i was pasting into was using some company one we have. I did set the new one to monochrome to see if that made a difference but it didnt appear to.

Well, if the objects themselves, the layers they reside on, the pen table file, and the page setup are all identical, then you have me stumped.

 

Do the same layers already exist in the target dwg? if so, do they have different settings?

Probably not, aren't they just copied over when you dump the copied drawing in the new .dwg?

 

The drawings are at work and i dont have access to them now.

Yes, it will copy the layers if they don't already exist. If they do already exist, the entities will be pasted on the existing layers, with the existing settings (even if they are different from the source dwg).
