Line Thickness Varies Randomly

Hello,

I'm a long time user of Draftsight, although definitely not an expert. Recently, I've had the strangest thing happen. I will notice at some point through a project that all my line thicknesses vary randomly. Fonts are also affected - some notes will be bold, others normal.

  • I have NEVER messed with line thicknesses or font sizes before this problem happened
  • This has happened on other files as well – ones not created by me
  • I verified previous PDFs and printouts of this drawing looked just fine - something changed!
  • I have tried selecting all notes and making them a different style or thickness - they do not respond
  • I have tried selecting all layers and making them thicker or thinner - they do not respond
  • I have tried selecting all lines and making them thicker or thinner - they do not respond
  • I have tried switching to DWG format and other DXF formats - no change
  • I have tried printing to see if it's just the PDF exporter at fault – printed documents also appear strange
  • I have tried selecting all, copying all, then deleting the original entities - no change
  • Thick lines and thin lines show identical line thicknesses in the property tab - arg!
  • Bold and normal notes show identical styles and line thicknesses in the property tab - arg!
  • Our SolidWorks reseller (Symmetry Solutions) did not help and directed me here - boo!

Let me know if anybody has seen this, and if they've discovered a fix.

I saw another post about this but it wasn't answered.

PNG and DWG files attached.

Thanks!
