    How to get darker print of drawing V23

    CORRECTION - This is with V21

    I have had this problem for some time, but it is now getting really annoying.

    I have the line color as black, but printing comes out very light almost light grey. Even when printing to a pdf it is light.

    My work around is to save as dxf, read in corel and output to pdf. Not the most efficient.

    Searched back 20 pages in these threads and didn't find anyone else complaining, so it must be me.

    Steve.

    Printing in V21

    Steve
    Try on the attributes to change the line width to .010" or .020"
    That should print better than a line width of 0.000 It is most likely your
    problem.

    Mark,

    That solved it. Knew it had to be an oversight on my part.
    Thanks for the quick response.

    Steve.

    It may also work to change your printer setting from 600 dpi to 300 dpi. I found in my own cadcam software, that this was a quick way to get the dimensions and dimension text to print out with better visibility, since some of these things have virtually zero thickness, or so it would seem.
    First you get good, then you get fast. Then grouchiness sets in.

    V21 Printing

    Actually, I just tried both the 300 dpi didn't work good here,
    but even making the line atributes to .005" came out fine !

    Steve,
    Glad I could help, simple enough.
