Line weight

I cannot get my true line weights to appear in my layout
I have set the line weight to true weight and saved it as a drafting copy and the true line weights show in archicad but not plotmaker why is this?

There are three types of Pen Settings (Line weights):
1) For Model View
2) For Layout Views
3) Per Drawing
----
To troubleshoot first check #2 by going to the menu ->Options -> Element Attributes -> Pens & Colors (Layout Views).

Then select a drawing and check what Pen Setting it has.

That is the reason that it is recommended to list your AC version and operating system as part of your signature. That can avoid wasted time on a sunday night.
