I have to tame my anger. There is not a single day i dont spend one hour reporting bugs! Obvious and huge ones!
Are you guys at mcneel joking?
The most basic things dont work one year into release date!
In PDF
Even in printdisplay on in layout gets its right but not when printed to PDF.
Do those curves look like double thickness to you please?
Other thing is that technical display hidden line setting does not react to thickness unlike silhouette and edges.
Please fix this asap because it is quite a big one.
There are two BIG issues:
-In technical view hidden lines thickness dont react to settings unlike for visible curves and silhhouetes which react to settings
-In technical view curves (not edges of polysurfaces) dont react to print width
In layout and print display on at least curves look ok thicknesswise but are not printed to pdf.
Hello, reminding this.
Providing a 3dm sample that we can look at goes a long way.
Are you printing to vector or to raster? Page size and DPI settings?
For the display in viewports, the Technical -> Objects -> Lines -> Hidden line width (pizels) setting changes the thickness of those hidden lines. Only the thickness, and not the spacing between segments can be set.
When printing views in technical display modes to vector PDF, the hidden lines are drawn based on the definition of the Hidden linetype. Here, you can set both thickness and spacing between segments.

In this case it does not require file because the testing scene can be replicated with a box and a line.
I have tried. Nothing affects the thickness of hidden line (printed in vector to PDF).
Other problem is that normal curves as objects which should be seen (if not obscured) as in wireframe mode dont have proper thickness.
Please run a test and see that both problems are there.
Was anything changed in a week? I tried now with the hidden line and now it seem to reacts.
As far as I can tell, nothing was changed recently in this area.

if i was to be under oath i would swear i tested it and it did not work… strange things, but the other problem remains, normal curves under technical viewport dont have their thicknesses in pdf.
Technical - Hidden Lines - Thickness - px.pdf (4.2 KB)
There are 3 objects in this scene. In the center is a closed polysrf with hidden lines. On the sides are curves with different linetypes assignments.

i sent this model to support, please examine it on real model.
other issue with technical display is this supposed hidden line which is more continouous than hidden
I dont know how you managed that but it does not work here definitely:
