    Default pdf plots changing line type scale?

    Here is one that really has me stumped.
    When I go to plot a drawing with phantom linetypes in it, and all the lines are equal, meaning they are level, on the same layer, color, and at the same assigned line type scale, they come out in different line type scales on a pdf plot. I.E. the spacing of the dashes is not equal in all the lines. On the screen they are fine, and if I do a window plot from model space they are fine. In fact I am printing to the same pdf printer when I do a window plot as when I use the regular view plot from paper space. Namely DWG to PDF.pc3

    Anyone have any ideas why this would happen?

    Things I have tried to fix it are:
    1. Converting the lines to polylines...no difference
    2. Regenerating the drawing...no difference
    3. Making sure all lines are flat and at elev. 0...no difference
    4. Experimenting with changing plot settings in the plot dialog box...no difference

    I have experienced the same thing. I think it's a problem with Adobe.

    Question is the difference between lines running across the page versus up and down the page
