Complex Profile Line Weight Problem

Okay... so I'm having an unusual problem that I've never encountered in a little over the 3 years I've been working with ArchiCAD. I attached two pictures to help explain.

In the Complex Profile Drawing space, I get the correct line weights. For some reason, the lines are showing thin even though "True Line Weight" is on. That is, to me, a minor problem and not the reason for this post.

In the Floor Plan view of the newly created column complex profile, the picture attachment shows that the line weights are not how the complex profile drawing view shows. I'm not really sure what to do.

This problem happened on a previous project around 1 month ago with some corner boards I created using the complex profile. They were set up as columns just like I did now. I didn't worry about it, but it is really a problem too.

Anybody know or at least have any ideas? I'm open eyes! Has anyone had a problem similar to this?

Check the scale of the Profile Manager Drawing space, if it is 1:1 then the line weights are hard to see. I know this is not why you posted, but perhaps getting true line weights visible will help solve your bigger issue.
