    Default Polyline thickness problem once PDF'd

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    - It was moved from the general forum, but I don't know where to.

    Hi,

    I have a drawing with polylines filled with hatching. When I pdf it the lineweight of the poly line is different to that of the hatching....eventhough they are on the same layer and the lineweights is set to 'by layer'.

    I have a few rectangles on the drawing which aren't effected...its only the poly lines....can anyone tell me what I can do to solve this?

    Thanks

    Sam

    I see two possible explanations:
    • The polylines have widths different than 0, and that will override the lineweight property.
    • Check the settings in CTB plot rules file.

    How would I go about changing them. I have had a quick look for the CTB plot rules but cant find it

    Thanks

    Call the STYLESMANAGER command - it will open for you a window with all CTB files available for your user. Just double-click on the one you used and go to Table View or Form View tab and check the features associated with each color.
    Just pay attention that if you used True Colors for some items, those aren't affected by CTB settings.
