I have been trying to understand why lineweights cannot print when using the Monochrome display style and printing to raster. Raster lineweights appear to work fine with the non-technical styles. We rely on Monochrome for our drawings but cannot print in vector for our actual working files as they are too detailed and crash our computers. Would appreciate any guidance as this has become a major issue for our company. Attaching several test prints in different styles, our print settings, and a simple test file. See below for SystemInfo (I know there is a new service release out but haven’t been able to install as our IT manager is OOO for the time being):
