New Hardware in NX1 makes bold lines on prints

[MerK55]

So my mainboard crashed on my CAD station running W2K Pro and UG NX1. I upgraded the CPU, Mainboard, RAM and videocard to a Nvidia Quadro FX1500.

Now if I "print" a file to letterhead, or pdf the lines are very thick and heavy. pretty much making it unreadable. If I plot it comes out fine.

I have tried 5 different video drivers thinking that must be the problem, but it has not.

I inserted:

UGII_WMF_LINE_WIDTH_SCALE_FACTOR=.25

to the ugii_env.def file and it also seems not to do anything.

Any suggestions or info would be greatly appreciated.

thank you.

I found this answer, I was putting the UGII_WMF_LINE_WIDTH_SCALE_FACTOR=.25 line in the ugii_env.dat doc without removing the # sign which negates the line.

I hope this info helps someone else

Yep....that's considered 'commenting out' the variable if inserted before the variable is defined. It's applicable in just about all the .dat and .def files that NX uses.

In other cases and with different file types, the # may be a 'rem' statement (like in a .bat file used to launch NX) but it's basically the same thing.
