Curious, since my latest upgrade to NX12, I noticed when creating a pdf that my points are coming in much thicker than the previous version of NX11. I have tried adjusting certain settings but they still create as thick points rather than the same as my line weights. Can anyone steer me in the correct path to fix this issue.

Thank you in advance!

Looks very similar to an issue posted here. It doesn't appear to have been resolved in the other thread, but there were some good questions posed by a GTAC rep (user: Broady) that went unanswered and bear repeating here:

Broady said:
[ol 1]
[li]In Drafting, right click on the point and choose Information - what is the width?[/li]
[li]Menu > Preferences > Object > General tab > Type = Point, what is Width set to (if Default, what is the Default Width)?[/li]
[li]Menu > Preferences > Object > Line Widths, what values are listed here?[/li]
[li]Menu > Preference > Visualization > Line tab, what pixel width is listed for the corresponding width of your point (from step 1)? Is Show Widths checked? If not, check it and Apply - does the point change in Drafting?[/li]
[li]Menu > File > Export > PDF, what do you have selected for Print Properties: Widths? If set to Single Width does the point print correctly? If set to Custom Widths, click on Define Widths - what is listed here?[/li]
