line thickness print problem - sw2009
hi all,
my workstation was upgraded from sw2008 to 2009 sp2.0. a few problems encountered & they were fixed.
one problem really troubles me and the upgrade changed all line thickness by itself. this caused problem in printing & editing existing/ new drawings. in 2008, it was easy to change it & it is a one time deal. also, setting is a gobal parameter, which i don't need to care for other dwgs. i went to print\ line thickness setting. in 2009, however, it only applies to each individual dwg, and need to do for each one. that is a pain!
is there any way to get around this? please advise.

save a drawing template (.drwdot) with the line thicknesses you want. that way, every drawing you create using your template will have the correct line types.
thanks engd, i already did. it worked.
the other side of the coin is to fix the printing of existing drawings.

i've done something similar in '08. i have been able to delete the old sheet format and then load a newly designed one with the properties i really want. i do not know if your line properties will update since i'm still stuck in the 08's
