Wall and Lines look thick in PDF

Anonymous

Hello, I saved a floor plan as a PDF and when I zoom in the PDF file, the lines look thicker than on my ArchiCAD file even though I chose the lightest line (the 1 Black 0.13 mm).

Anyone got an idea to fix this?

Thank you in advance.

Select the drawing. Ctrl+T to open settings and there you find the scale

You can change the drawing scale here but you probably don't want to do that if it is scale you want.
You can also change the pen set being used so choose one that is appropriate for the scale of your drawing.
If you don't have a pen set for that scale you will have to create one.

Just to add, if you looking to do a quick print just for personal review, there is also a option when you have the print dialog open called hairline print, if you select that everything will print at 0.1 so you can read everything clearly.

But that being said its always good to print with true line wights to see what the outcome will be.
