Mysterious flatshot plotting shenanigans

Hello all:

See the attached pdf for reference... I work with 2D line drawings and add 3D elements as required to verify clearances, calculate center of gravity, etc. Most 3D objects are Primitives, Extrusion or Revolutions with a few Lofts and Sweeps for funky parts. Once I'm ready to produce a pdf/paper drawing, I Flatshot all the 3D stuff and add title, dimensions, etc. Everything on the attached pdf is colored white via ByLayer coloring; Linetypes are exclusively ByLayer as well. All Thickness and Widths are 0 and Lineweights are all the same via ByLayer.

Now for the shenanigans... I use the None Plotstyle and have noticed that all lines generated from the Flatshot have a very thin crisp look to them that I can match by choosing Lineweight = 0.00mm BUT changing the Lineweight of the lines that resulted from the Flatshot does not make them any heavier. Any idea why this is?

Thank y'all.

Works for me when I try. You are exploding the Block, correct? If you notice, all the LW are defaulted to 0.00MM so changing the block will not override them. If you want to keep the block that the FLATSHOT generated, you'll have to edit all the entities to be ByBlock.

Just a first stab at your problem....

*edit*

Good work BTW!

Yep, I have exploded the Flatshot block, then I only keep whatever portions I need. The thing is, I like the look of the 0.00mm lines from the Flatshot, but I'm working on a set of standards for our group to follow so I'd like to learn how to control this little detail.
