TurboCAD to AutoCAD conversion?????

TurboCAD to AutoCAD conversion?????

TurboCAD to AutoCAD conversion?????

(OP)
I have converted my drawing from turbocad to autocad using a .dxf and the drawings looks perfect within autocad on the screen.  However the linework prints from autocad very narrow and difficult to see.  I have changed the line properties and that has not changed the final print.  Any advice on how to enhance the linework so it is easy to see when I print would be very helpful.

Thanks in advace for the advice,

RE: TurboCAD to AutoCAD conversion?????

You say "I have changed the line properties..."  Have you changed the actual line thickness?  Make them about 0.3 or larger, THEN check the "Plot lineweights" option (or whatever it is called, I don't have ACAD open right now).  If the converted lines are actual vectors - and not just images - they should plot thicker.

Remember: The Chinese ideogram for “crisis” is comprised of the characters for “danger” and “opportunity.”
