Grayscale lines printing inconsistently

can you merge your profile ref or provide copy of the profile ref.. and re add to upload cant test with just title block haha...

You say above LT=0, but your prints look more like 1 or 5, nothing in pentable I cant see anything to change this unless you have overrides on or  in level manager and view attributes...

OCE pltcfg has 1016 dpi driver and  your pdf.pltg  has 600dpi   

your oce  rollplotter  driver  to printed direct to paper has higher  resolution should be awesome compared to the pdf to plotter

But then you print to half scale which has a 50% shrink effect on the line weights.... ( what happens if you print to full size instead?)

Also the pdfs you provided are scans to pdf for a richo laser so resolution becomes compromised and I cant really  do a good view comparison...both pdfs look pretty much the same on screen even zoomed in...so the faint ness maybe a process of the scanner or light leakage...

Pentable looks ok nothing strange .. not sure about show construction lines as white... I use don't print construction lines and I also put construction lines on named level with nonprint option in level manager to be sure to be sure .. but that's   just me...

Morning Lorys,

I replaced the "!JUNK_Profile.dgn" so there is no "missing stuff".

Thanks,

from what I can tell you have a custom linestyle 0 which used to be normal solid line and you replaced it with a  small dashed one.. so I cant reproduce  what you have, I don't  think your supposed to edit the default lines from 0-8 provided by Bentley as they  don't scale etc  you probably should have made a new linestyle with a name rather than 0.. what happens if you were to use  number 2 short dashes...

in anycase I don't get missing linework when I make the pdf with my pdf but weight 1 and 3 are a bit too thick for me..

when I open the level manger it shows red zero for linestyle which means its not found and under properties it show a dashed preview.. I think this may be your main problem...

Try using different standard line styles and see how you fair with an override for the linestyle

 see 0 looks dashed  should be solid

in your drg when  draw a line with LT=0  it looks like my linestye for 0 ie solid

Good Morning Lorys,

Thanks for looking into this.  I will take a look.

Have a Good weekend,

any progress

Morning Lorys,

Thanks for the suggestion but no there was no affect to the Grayscale issue when I changed the linestyles to default set.

Thanks for the suggestion and sorry about the delay in getting back in touch.
