    Hi fellow drafters and printers

    I do not seem to be able to maintain lineweights if I print with the
    viewport shadeplot property set to "Hidden". All lines come out very
    thin - I cannot see how to control the thickness. This means prints for
    faxing or copying are very pale and we lose data ...
    The only way I have managed to print 3d objects to paper or PDF with
    objects showing both hidden and different lineweight is using shademode
    "As Displayed" and setting the Shade Menu to "Flat Shading with edges".
    Then of course the edges and the faces are mostly of the same
    color,except where shaded, so thats not a lot of use. All I really want
    is black lines (of varying lineweight)on white paper as this is the most
    effective way for me to display drawings.Has anybody any expertise in
    these matters?
    Any comments gratefully received !
