When I select different line weights specified in millimeters, the displayed line stays the same pixel width regardless of the zoom ratio. For example, if I select 2mm, the line gets twice as thick as another line with a weight of 1mm, but they both stay the same absolute thickness as I zoom in and out. If I zoom way out, they might be 1000 and 2000 mm thick respectively, and if I zoom way in, they might be 0,001 and 0,002 mm. It's like there is no difference between mm weights and pixel weights.

The printed version also has problems. The line widths are correct ONLY if the scale is 1:1. If any other scale is selected, the lines are distorted accordingly. In other words, a 2mm line becomes a 4mm line (relatively speaking) if the scale is 50% reduction.

Hoping there is a simple fix...

Ciao,

Hi Paul.

Yes, agreed. I tend to leave my lines on 2mm but there is something that isn't quite right going on there when I zoom. It makes drawings look somewhat clunky...if you catch my drift...
