Pen Conversion...

[Anonymous]

I have a plotmaker layout book that has drawings in it that have various different pen thicknesses... When I publish to DWG and send it to a collegue using AutoCad 2000.... he sees much thicker lines.

I know almost nothing about Autocad, he knows nothing about ArchiCAD..

Can anyone point me to a resource that would help me sort this out... Im sure I just need to make translator changes...

Nefarious,
If you simply change your line thickness, from true weight -----> Hairlines, under your display options in Plotmaker, it will give you hairlines even in AutoCAD.

See attached image.
HTH.
Cheers.

I know about that one, but I have a few pens I want to be slightly thicker than hairlines.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Always send hairlines to an AutoCAD user. 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.
