    I've got a client that recently upgraded all their PCs from Win98 to WinXP Pro. Since this change, they are able to plot just fine to their Oce TDS600, but when they print to their HP 4MV, then their line weights are all wrong. Since only the desktops changed, is this a font issue or something else? I'm not very familiar with the Autocad 2004 product. Thanks for the help.

    Does your client use .ctb or .stb plot style tables? We use .ctb (color dependent line weight definitions. We had to create separate .ctb plot styles for our 4MV. The plot style table for our HP1050 produced lines that were generally too heavy for the 4MV plots. We simply redefined the line weghts in the HP1050 .ctb file and saved is as HP04MV.ctb.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Rick.

    I'll try to gather some more info from the lead user.
