True.
But since 99% of Autocad users still use the original fixed penset of early Autocad/DOS (some 20 years old) you can easily create your own Autocad pen table and assign that to the imported files. In fact, here we use that everywhere possible, to minimize co-operation problems.
I agree that this should be taken care of by Archicad's DWG import utility.
Below I reprint the first 10 pens of our Autocad standard pen table. These pens cover most needs when importing engineering DWGs.
#1, red, 0.25,
#2, yellow, 1.00,
#3, green, 0.35,
#4, cyan, 0.18,
#5, blue, 1.40,
#6, magenta, 0.70,
#7, white, 0.50 (use black if white background),
#8, grey, 0.13,
The following are not global standard but we use them too, to get finer hairlines.
#9, light grey, 0.07,
#10, dark red, 0.00,
(note that zero lineweight prints at the printer device's finest resolution. If you have a really good printer this might cause lines to disappear!)
We also use a similar penset called Autoblack that uses the same line weights (thicknesses) but where all these pens are black. This is for output (print and layout) use.
