SNAPSHOT OF A FLOOR PLAN CHANGES LINEWEIGHTS

WHEN I WANT TO COPY & PASTE A FLOOR PLAN, I TAKE A SNAPSHOT OF THE PLAN AND PASTE ONTO A BLANK SHEET. BUT SOME OF THE LINE WEIGHTS FROM THE ORIGINAL PLAN BECOME MUCH THICKER. THIS STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT A MONTH AGO.

Snapshot will capture the pdf as it was created. If you have lineweights disabled, it will end up potentially looking different in the snapshot.

Vince French

It would be great if you could do a snapshot with the line weights remaining disabled @JIR !

David Cutler

@JIR If you flatten the Snapshot Markup the Disable Line Weights feature will kick in and should match your original linework.

David Mills

As others have mentioned already, you currently enabled the "Disable Line Weights" feature on accident. When creating a snapshot, it uses the PDF content's actual line weights until you Flatten the markup - in which case @David Cutler's suggestion will allow your snapshot to match any original linework thicknesses.

You can turn this on/off through the View > Disable Line Weights function & it's all the way at the bottom.

Vince French

@David Cutler I think there may a glitch in the system somewhere as when I've stitiched layouts together, some of the flattened snapshots will be corrected by disabling the line weights but some won't. This isn't always the case though.
