Hello, 

Zooming on a exported PDF plot, it's a pain on large projects, because even if you print it with a small weight, like 0.3, this is difficult to read informations on zooming, and le lines are a bit crappy.

But on the screen, on paper view, every lines are vectorised, so it's readable and look pretty.

Can we please, look into a real vectoriesed PDF like other cad lighting plots can do ?

Thank you to consider, it will be a game changer on large plots.

Whether the exported plot is vectorised or rasterised would not affect the thickness of lines though. What you are asking for would not solve the problem.

Unfortunately PDF is a print medium format that scales with the paper. This means that as you zoom in, lines thicken. As far as I know it's not possible to maintain constant on-screen line thickness with PDF. Do you have PDFs from other CAD software that accomplishes this?

Hello Lars

Thank you for the answer, 

Sorry about the non good function mentionned for the "vectorised" lines, but you're right, the goal is to maintain constant on-screen line thickness with PDF.

Here you can find the PDF mentionned on the screen example. As far as I know, it was drowing and export by Wysiwyg
