      I've noticed that in LO below ~140% zoom the linetypes rescale on screen so at 100% there is a discrepancy in presentation from the exported PDF. I'd expect wysiwyg at any zoom where linetypes are concerned.

      I've also found the pattern export quality to be underwhelming. The lineweights of the patterns just aren't heavy enough at 100%. I've found them almost invisible until you zoom at least 200%. In most cases the patterns are too big at 1x so I need to set them at 0.5x which makes the visibility even worse because they are bitmaps.

      Surely TSU check the quality of hatch output in the industry standard Adobe Reader using real world objects e.g. 4"/100mm bricks or a 6"/150mm concrete slab at 1:50 or 1/4":1' scale?

        Yes, thanks Marc. Fixing that bug is huge for me. I use that process quite a bit.

        Yes you do... and I liked it quite a bit when I saw you use it. It's not good for changes down the road, but it's nice when you just want some linework transferred over.

        I now only use it for things I know won't change - like property lines, setbacks, easements, existing topography. I can still do it via saving scenes, but I like to have the option of copy / paste between the two.
