When printing, my lines all come out the same width, but I took the time to set the widths for each colour in the Print command. What did I miss? When plotting to a Raster plotter, on the same dialogue box where you set the line widths, there is a toggle near the top right of the box "Use Line Width Settings". Make sure this toggle is ON. If you are plotting to an older pen plotter then the toggle "Print Colors" may also have to be on. As well, you may have to set the colours up inside of the pen plotter driver instead of in the dialogue box shown. This is done from the first print dialogue box by picking on the SETUP button in the top right and following the options within that driver.
*** Note: MSCAD 2005 now supports linewidths directly both for plotting and for the graphics display ***
