Question:
Is there a way to overwrite the line scaling feature when printing an A1 drawing to A3 or A4 size? The line weights are too thin and faint after the size reduction.
Answer:
There is an advanced option, XS_BASE_LINE_WIDTH which can be used for scaling all line weights. You can set the variable before printing the drawing what you want to scale from A1 to A3 and then set it back. Restarting TS is not needed.
Another option is to define printer "A1toA3" and set the bigger line widths there in the color table.
