Exporting from Sketchup into Autocad and setting line weights and plot at scale.

Hello there,

I've starting using Autocad a while ago. I've got a problem trying to plot a drawing at A1 and at scale1:20. The drawing was made in Google Sketchup initially and then I exported it as dwg file. The line types are all on the same layer and they have the same thickness.  I've been trying to plot this file into Autocad and print/save it as a scaled image on an A1 pdf page. The problem is that the drawing comes out with different line thicknesses and also some of the lines seem slightly darker in colour; this is really frustrating since the lines in the initial drawing are all the same thickness and colour. I tried different things to correct this: I went into the layer tab and set the thickness and colour thinking this might make the lines uniform, also I tried in the plot window unselecting 'plot object line weights' and 'plot with plot styles'. None of these work and the drawing still comes out with different line weights. I want it to have all lines the same weights and colour. I also tried the purge command hoping this might help, but I had no success so far.

I attached the pdf image that I keep getting when I plot in case someone can help me correct it. Thank you.

 

PS. Ok I just noticed something very interesting. When I open the second file I uploaded here the drawing appears fine. But if I click on it, download it on desktop and then open it, it comes up with different line weights. Could there be a problem with my pdf reader? Or could there be some other problem?
