Settings > Object Styles and
Settings > Line Weights
Under the object styles dialog, you will find all the objects listed showing their pen number in projection, cut and their colors. For instance, if you change a column to be magenta, and a door to be magenta, it doesn't mean that both will print the same. Only the color. To make them the same, you have to change their projection and cut pen numbers to match.
After that, you will have to define the line weights for the pen number you assigned. To do that, go to the Line Weights dialog box and set them there. Note that they are related to the scale you are printing.
At the end, you may just realize that it is better just to work the way Revit is meant. I have seen people turning they background colors to black to make Revit looks like AutoCAD, but they turn it back to white when they realize how friendly it is. Just give it a chance.
Welcome to AUGI, by the way.
