Any body experience this: Line thickness on drawing templates formats look correct on screen but on printout get extremely thick? [hairpull2]

The drwdot file is a SW2004 file that works fine under SW2004. I have the trouble in SW2005. I did save the drwdot file with SW2005 but the problem remained. The line thicknesses are the same under 2004 and 2005.

We have had the same problem here. Edit the sheet format,
do a window around the whole border and make sure the correct line is picked in the line format toolbar.
 
1) What does the print preview look like?
2) Do you have anti0alias lines turned on under the Tools\Options\System Options\Display/Selection
3) Have you checked your line thickness when printing out in SW05?

Scott,

The print preview appears as printed. The on-screen view appears correct.

Antialias is on. Antialias deselected did not make a difference in the print preview.

Line thickness are identical under 2004 and 2005.

Found the problem: you have to covert the slddrt file to 2005 too. The lines are correct on print after that.
