Quick question about plotting to a PDF. I'm using autocad 2013 and I'm plotting to a PDF printer called bullzip, a free PDF printer. My question is, will my line-weights be the same if I have kinko's print a PDF file with my drawings in them

I am trying to embolden lineweights to stand out on the drawing, without them getting in the way when viewing in the drawing. I have set the lineweight in the layer dialogue box to the max size (2.xx mm), checked the "plot lineweights" in the printer dialogue and switched between none and grayscale (this is so the assigned colors will fade out in the background). Nothing I have tried thus far has changed the print output on any of my printers (virtual PDF, HP2100, HP2600n, HP2840 they are all very old). I have read through the lweight command and help sections, but I don't need it assigning the lw just getting it to properly print.
One possible problem: is the line weight relative to scale or is it absolute? I am printing at 1/8" scale, and that can't change.
I am running two networked computers and a networked Designjet 510 plotter. One computer runs LT2013 and the other LT2014.
I am having an issue with the LT2013 machine in that it plots much darker than it should (uses a heavier lineweight). I have checked the plotter set up and plot style and both appear the same.
Im trying to print a logo for my detachment using Autocad to PDF but for one the line dont show up in the PDF file and second the original color of the drawing is faded. Black goes to a smoke grey color, lines dont show up, and the red is blurry. I need this to be fixed but I just dont have the skill to do it. And stupid autocad doesnt have a contact number for step by step instructions with an actual human! Im trying to use the logo for a T-shirt but it seems like I cannot for the life of me print a suitable digital image for it. I am using AutoCad ARCH 12...

I'm attempting to plot a drawing with a 3d shape and a title block around it. I would like for the occluded lines to not be drawn therefore I'm using the hidden visual style and set shade plot to hidden as well.
My problem arises from the quality of the plot to PDF versus the quality coming out of a printer. It is just a 8.5x11 page. The pdf comes out with horrible anti-aliasing and jagged lines, whereas the print is entirely smooth. Is there something simple I'm missing? It would be even better to find a way to make the plot to PDF come out in vector format! I know it is possible to show the layers and have them vectorized in a PDF... How is this done?
I already change the lineweight on the properties but nothing happens to the line. What's the matter?

I just want my lineweight settings always (for any drawing) to be as I set them!
I am currently converting my drawing to PDF. However, certain lines on the drawing are showing up bold and thick when converting. I understand that they are appearing and disappearing due to me turning on or off the hide/show lineweights feature. But I would like the lines to be default size. I don't need them thick.

I am trying to make them "Thicker". I have tried adjusting the layers "Lineweight" as well as individually selecting them and adjusting the lineweight but neither is working for me.
Using AutoCAD 2011 we always use 0.00 as our default line weight but the default will change to 0.010 with no real pattern. It can be any drawing at any time. We have reset this dozens of times without being able to stop it from reoccurring.
We are also not able to get line weight to display (yes we check the Lineweight Settings, Display lineweight box) again on random drawings at random times.
I have a drawing with numerous copies of a particular block. I would like to change the Lineweight of the attribute so that it is reduced in all of the blocks in my drawing. How can I do this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedUsing acad2011, i have a flatshot image on a separate layer. The lineweight is set by layer, but when i change it in the layer properties manager nothing happens... There is no change to the blocks created by flatshot on the specific layer (other objects do change lineweight).
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I copy objects from a drawing to another drawing in .DWG, it appears that the lineweights becomes different between the two drawings.
For example, let's say there is a layer whose Lineweight is 0.3mm, Color is green and Linetype is continuous on the source drawing file. You notice the objects under that layer should be thicker. After copying to another drawing or destination drawing file, I noticed the layer got transferred across which is good and everything else associated with that layer. But then, I noticed on the other drawing, the objects on that layer are not as thick as that of the source drawing file. When i checked the layer on the layer properties manager, it shows the lineweight is 0.3mm. I wonder why the lineweight of the objects are different as if they are 0.00mm and what should I do to keep it consistent on the other drawing after the copy.
Somehow i can't draw lines with different lineweight. I can change the color and the linetype but the lineweight doesn't. In the properties toolbar over the workspace the last option (after lineweight) is not active and shows bycolor!I suppose that is the problem why i can't draw lines with different lineweight!

There doesnt seem to be a way to control the lineweight of text in a table. I have changed the color of the text and I have applied a lineweight to the table but the text is way too light. I spent a bunch of time putting info into tables and it looks like total crap and I cant seem to change it. What is up with this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI realize I am probably using ACA against the way it is meant to be used, but is there a way to get back the linetype and lineweight menus that are on the classic view toolbars but not the ribbon? I just upgraded to 2012 and decided to bite the bullet and just use the ribbon, but it's really just not working out. Unfortunately I only have ACA yet am doing non-architecture work so really need to be able to modify lines without creating a different layer for each type.

Pressing the command button puts <Lineweight > in the command line.

should be:

how to change lineweight on the circle? another word i want to make the arc line thicker. Can we do that rather than offset the circle and Hatch it. I use Pedit alot on straight line but won't work on circle. As you can see on the picture below when i changed the lineweight to be bigger but the circle is still the same.

I need to create a specific line weight other than those provided at default. Right now it goes from 0.00mm to 0.05mm to 0.09mm.
I'm trying to get a line thickness of 0.07mm.
I think that line weight controls line thickness in plot.
If I want to see the result in paper pace, what shall I do?
usingacasd 2010 inmy company we get drawing from others , most of the time we need to use the CTBto gray out others plane and emphasize our drawing on top of it., everything isgrayed out as expected but hatches and poliline which have big "global weight"property will still appear emphasize. i tried to screen out 50 percent of thepen , it effects the hatch but also the other vectors so they can be hardlyseen. howcan i have hatches and global weight poliline grayed out like all othervectors?

(Image attached). I am using Inventor 2013 and Visual Basic 2010 Express. I created a sketch within one of my views on my .idw. I would like to turn this sketch on or off based on the input from a variable that is read elsewhere. I have used the following code from the help file with no luck so far.
Public Sub SketchEdit() Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument oDrawDoc = _invApp.ActiveDocument ' Determine if there are any sheet overlay sketches. Dim oSketches As DrawingSketches oSketches = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet.Sketches If oSketches.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub End If ' Set a reference to the first sketch. Dim oSketch As DrawingSketch oSketch = oSketches.Item(4) oSketch.Edit() If vValue_Closer = "" Then oSketch.LineWeight = 0 Else oSketch.LineWeight = 0.007 End If ' Return from edit mode. oSketch.ExitEdit() End Sub
The code errors out on the line 'osketch = osketches.item(4)'. I have tried using a number like that, and I have also tried using the actual name of the sketch. Neither works.
oSketch = oSketches.Item("Closer_Reinf")
what to edit here to get it to look at my Closer_Reinf sketch to hide it/unhide it ?
