hairlines in autocad

Anonymous
Not applicable
Is there a way that when drawings are saved as in autocad format (2005)all lines in the translated drawing are hairlines? I click off true line weight on screen view options, I used all available translators, I searched the forum. But I cant fix this. Please help

ALT+6 is the command on a mac - this thing (see screenshot)

It will be somewhere else in your WE - but it is with this group of commands:

I did this but still it doesnt work. Strangely in my house it works. Ill try to log in as an administrator next tuesday to see if I can activate this button.
In the past some functions will not work if I log in as a user -for example Door & window builder. Ill keep you informed . Thanks for the help.

Everything works fine on a different file.
Ill try to make a new file and merge the problematic one to it.
Thanks to all. I'm glad it was not a bug

Just a general warning about DWB and DWG's - they don't always play nice. Try unloading the plugin and see how that affects things. I believe CI is working on this if they haven't fixed it already.

I have the exact same problem in AC12 now. It worked fine in AC11 but now the "Do not export ArchiCAD penweights" is grey and I cannot choose it. I have tried different combinations and I do not have true line weights on but it is always unclikable. Does anyone know how to activate it?
