I'm struggling a bit with an AutoCAD issue (typically more of an Inventor user). At my company, when this comes up we have usually just faked our way through it, but I'm looking for a better solution.
I have a drawing, which is showing views of a 3D model, on which I want to show hidden edges. I have edited the Hidden Visual Style to show "Occluded Edges" as Dashed. Viewports are set to Hidden visual style, and Shade Plot is "As Displayed." On screen in AutoCAD, this looks exactly like what I want. When I print the drawing, the Hidden viewports appear lighter or "washed out". When I plot to "Adobe PDF", the effect is even more pronounced (See top view in image below).

How can I make this view show the hidden edges, but still print in a way that isn't absurdly light?
Also, I noticed that the PDF version seems to scale the line type (dashes become smaller). Why is this the case, and is there a setting I can change to stop this as well?
