SW 2005 DRW Borders

SW 2005 DRW Borders

(OP)
Any body experience this: Line thickness on drawing templates formats look correct on screen but on printout get extremely thick?

The drwdot file is a SW2004 file that works fine under SW2004. I have the trouble in SW2005. I did save the drwdot file with SW2005 but the problem remained. The line thicknesses are the same under 2004 and 2005.

SW2005 SP0.1

RE: SW 2005 DRW Borders

We have had the same problem here. Edit the sheet format,
do a window around the whole border and make sure the correct line is picked in the line format toolbar.

RE: SW 2005 DRW Borders

1) What does the print preview look like?
2) Do you have anti0alias lines turned on under the Tools\Options\System Options\Display/Selection
3) Have you checked your line thickness when printing out in SW05?

Scott,

The print preview appears as printed. The on-screen view appears correct.

Antialias is on. Antialias deselected did not make a difference in the print preview.

Line thickness are identical under 2004 and 2005.

Found the problem: you have to covert the slddrt file to 2005 too. The lines are correct on print after that.
