When I publish to DWG and send it to a collegue using AutoCad 2000.... he sees much thicker lines.<BR /> <BR /> I know almost nothing about Autocad, he knows nothing about ArchiCAD..<BR /> <BR /> Can anyone point me to a resource that would help me sort this out...

Otherwise he ends up with a mess (difficult to edit polylines). Set up a protocal so he knows which pens need to have different weights and let him set up the weights himself.<BR /> <BR /> woodster Wed, 09 Mar 2005 21:05:12 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Pen-Conversion/m-p/39034#M3406 Anonymous 2005-03-09T21:05:12Z
