lineweight display problem

lineweight display problem

lineweight display problem

(OP)
hi all! i just inscribed desperately aiming to fix the following problem:
i am working on a drawing that is the result of some rhino 3 .dxf imports and normal autocad 2007 lines.
well, i set lineweight parameters, then "by layer" but when i check the layout, or i try to plot a PDF file, i see some lines (always the same ones) with a huuuge weight, much different than other lines the of same layer that arent even weighted. and all this affects objects with same properties.
please help me because its driving me crazy, apparently its like theres no messy thing!
thank you very much, if u want me to upload the file, i will.

RE: lineweight display problem

uni1,

so, counter question:
1. there are only lines in the *.dwg. Sure?
2. Plotpreview. Is it ok?
3. Did you use color-dependent (CTB) or named (STB) plot style?
4. if  you plot onto paper, is the problem the same?
5. You can attach the dwg with some objects here in the forum.

RE: lineweight display problem

Did you check the lineweight of each item under the same layer?  Although the LAYER pull down menu has only one lineweight, that lineweight can be change for each item under that same layer by changing their lineweights under the PROPERTIES pull down menu.

actually my autocad didnt show me properly what was by layer and what was not. this because of wrong settings. after, i checked with some plot previews and i found out some lines had different properties.

still dont understand why if plot max zoom out i get different lineweights than if i plot max zoom in...
