While trying to get my lines appropriately proportional for an A sheet patent drawing, I noticed what you see is not what you get. Meaning, lines on screen vs. printing. Check out the screen capture of a line weight sampler I made, on screen the 2 pixels looks thicker the .020 line, but if you print out the sampler you'll see these two are not even close.

I actually measured these line at 5X magnification to .001 of an inch, the bottom row lines position are relative to the thickness of the lines in the above rows.

Hi P

Printing
Change all your lines to a set value not pixel,
if you print 1:1 scale the lines are the value they are set to lines .015" thick print .015"

if you print a drawing say 1/2 size 1:2 then a .010" thick line becomes .005" on the printed paper




Viewing on screen

there are three pen weight settings in the preferences
1. weights off lines stay a minimal thickness regardless of zoom level
2. display as printed - shows actual printed output
3. display view scaled - modifies as you zoom in and out on geometry.
