Question:
I am trying to print a drawing from Tekla Structures but the printer does not print. How do I get printing to work?
 
Answer:
The problem is most likely related to line weights (line thickness). Some printer drivers cannot handle zero line weights.
The workaround is to modify the Color table and change zero pen number settings to 1 or to some other appropriate value.

For more information about line weights in old printing, see Line thickness (pen number) in Color Table (old printing).

Also check what has been defined for the advanced option XS_BASE_LINE_WIDTH.
