pen weight bug

Anonymous
Not applicable
Objects that are assigned a to a pen w/ a weight of 0.10 mm will inadvertently and randomly switch to a MASSIVE line weight - probably in the range of 10.00 or more. this will only happen with a few at a time, then i will set the offending objects to a different pen, but this does not always solve the problem.

I have gone into my pen attributes and changed all 0.10 mm pens to 0.09 but hasn't seemed to help.

Have been having difficulties w/ this for weeks. I have not yet updated to the new hotfix for ac10 (still on 966) because we are too busy at the moment to coordinate all teamwork members to switch at the same time.

is this fixed in the hotfix?

thanks for your help

am on a PC w/ XP pro

Are you sure that this does not happen after you change a view and therefore the pen set associated with it?
