    OK - I THINK I HAVE IT. See the attached drawing. The reality is that its not so much that CA prints worse than other apps, its that the program creates overlapping lines that makes the drawing seem not sharp. Doug wanted specifics - here it is: CA needs to not stack lines together that end up coming across as thick profile lines when not intended. The reverse is true when dark profile lines are needed.

    I am sure someone is going to tell me a work-around, but I dont have that same problem in Vectorworks or Revit. It makes for a "sloppy" drawing if you dont go in and edit every line.

    My point is that since this is generated from a model, we give allowances. If my draftman gave me this drawing as something he created in 2D I would not be happy he didnt have line weight correct. See the other CAD example to compare.
