Problems with PDF export

[pieroski]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to export my first drawing to a PDF file with TechDraw. The file is an imported DWG file (I hope that this is not a problem) where I changed the thichkness of the lines. I don't understand what I did wrong but when I export the drawings to PDF the lines have the same thickness (see the attached files). When I import the drawing with Techdraw to a page, it looks very strange, very different from all the examples I wathed on the videotutorials
Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance,
Pieroski

Retry in 0.19 or attach at least your FreeCAD infos.

The steps you followed were something like this?
1st pass:
- import DWG as "AutoDesk DWG 2D"
- change line widths in the 3d model(?)
- export 3d model to PDF
- line thickness in exported PDF is not the same as in 3d model.(?)

2nd pass:
- select all elements imported above
- Create TechDraw View.
- View looks "strange/different" (what is different?)

Hard to tell without details such as FCStd files and what tutorial you were following.

Thank you for your answer. I am really sorry, I realized rightnow that it was not a DWG file but DXF. I have just opened it (no import).
any suggestion? thank you again and sorry for the my mistake.

Greetings,
