hairlines in autocad

[Anonymous]

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

Answering my own question.
1.Open the translated drawing in autocad
2.write the command convertpstyles
3.select all lines, change their properties (command:change)
4.Change their lineweight properties to 0
5. You may have to do these last 2 steps several times to make sure you convert all the lines. (If some are nested in blocks they should be exploded)
I hope theres an easier way

On step 3 instead of selecting all lines with the mouse, type ALL and press return this will select all the lines.

I have no problem getting hairlines, and here are my settings.

Im starting to use archicad 11
In translating drawings to autocad 2005 I cant click on the option "do not export archicad penweights" (It's greyed) to export drawings in hairlines to autocad 2005.
I tried different conversion methods even tried to create a new one without success.
This option worked perfectly on archicad 10. Meanwhile I have to translate back to archicad 10 and then to translate to autocad to export drawings in hairlines. I dont know if this is a bug

Do you have "Show True Line Weights" turned on? I've found that Archicad reads that setting regardless of the translator options.

I tried both ways turning off true line weights and turning off bold cut lines. No sucess still. Thanks anyway

No! It WILL work. Turn off the 'display only option' (BS), then the translator radio button becomes available - check it - save your settings, update placed drawings as needed - AC then does not export lineweights to modelspace. Works for me.

Thanks for replying. I thought the Issue was forgotten. I don't understand your instructions: "Turn off display only option" Could you please clarify?
