Hey all
Printing vector using Rhino PDF and the built-in hatches from sections are printing pretty thick, and not the elegant look I’d expect.
And at the risk of muddling the post, all the “boundaries” of sections pretty much are.
And before any well-meaning posts with very thoughtful and informational replies, I’ve gone through all the iterations of section styles and document settings 
I’m hoping for the hidden gems, buried settings, and AHA moments – or the ever possible, “Yes, that’s on the list…”
EDIT: @rajaa This is only if I use the Section attributes – good ol’ Extract Clipping Sections (or just cutting it manually) both hatches and curves look as they should!
