Thick Lines when printing layout.

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 00:32:46 GMT

I have tried to search but cant find any topic that helps me with my problem.
In my layout the lines on the wall panel and similar things look very good, thin and nice. But when i print it, (A1 layout) both in Sections and Stories the lines get thick. This looks very unprofessional.
I use AC10 and the same thing happened when i tried to print one of the sections in A4 on another printer.
Can anyone help me?

Check scale and what penset you're using on the layout.

Options->Element Attributes

and

for the drawing, select the drawing placed in the Layout and "Right Click", select "Drawing Settings" and look for the "Pen Settings" pop up.

Holmen:

Select the Drawing on the Layout, open its Settings, in the Properties pane is the Drawing Scale (as well as the Original Scale), and the Drawing's Pen Set.

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

Now i tried chancing the pen set but the same thing happens. I tried two different plotters, but it look exactly the same on both.
I took a picture with the "Sketch" tool and it came out with thin and nice lines.

Have you checked the Hairline option in Archicad's Print dialog?
