AutoCAD Inventor :: Line Weights To Thick In Small Detail
Jul 26, 2013
I have placed my assembly onto the idw and the line weight is set up correct for the majority of the drawing, but the small details, line less than 1mm together still carry the same line weight as the rest of the drawing. They are coming out far too thick as one big fat line.
Is there a way (Automatically, not RHM change layer) to select lines that are close together to move to a different layer that has a different line weight? I dont really want to go around selecting every line close together and changing the layer or weight do I?

I just had Inventor 2010 reinstalled on a new workstation with Windows 7. On any new drawings my line weights are fine.
On any drawings created before the new install, the line weights are all the wrong thicknesses now when I open them on my machine. They used to be fine and to our company standard.
How do I get it to where my line weights are correct on all idw drawings.

My current code consists of a simple line to save my .idw that is produced as a .PDF.
_invApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs(CurrentDirectory &"Submittal_Sheet_0" & drawing_count & ".pdf", True)
Within Inventor, if you select Export --> PDF, you can select an option that disregards the lineweights set in the drawing. How to set it up in VB to do that?

how to set the line weights in my idw to be thin? They seem to have changed to thick lines and it's a task to keep changing them through the layers etc

I'm doing a parts manual and would like to have a heavier perimeter line weight around each of my parts or sub assemblies. I know I can manually change the line weights however some lines that make up part of the perimeter also run into my part or assembly so this doesn't really work. Is there a way to get inventor to do it automatically?
I'm running inventor 2012, and generating a .dwg file from an .ipn.

What controls the line weight in idw drawings in Inventor 13? If I zoom in on a section the line gets wider as I zoom in until it looks like a pdf drawing. I don't have this issue with Inventor 12.

Currently I cannot print line weights with the "best fit" scale option selected.
Scale options of:
model 1:1 (w/o tiling) ,custom (above .7 scale), & current window all seem to scale the lineweight correctly. But the output is not limited to the sheet edges
IDW line weights display correctly within Inventor (2013) drawing environment
The behavior is the same across all printers on my system, including PDF & from the "export to PDF" option.
It seems any scale value smaller than .7 will zap the line weights from the preview as well as the hardcopy

I know this option makes all lines the same thickness when printing, but where can i modify this "global" thickness.

I am having a problem getting my the line weights to upate when I re-load a Revit Detail component back into a project file. The item on the left is the detail component in the family editor and the image on the right is the detail component.
There are no overides set in the visibility setting for detail items-> [name of the line work], however, when I do overide the line weight in the view for the line work, it doe change.

Why is the scale of my Detail Boundary line different than my Section Line scale? I have set the global line scale so that hidden and section lines look OK, but the detail boundary line spaces are so close that it prints as a continuous line. I am using the same line weight and line type for both detail and section lines.

In this particular exercise I was using only lines with modified thickness and 3DFACE once for the bottom.
1. Is it possible to cut the holes in the walls? If yes, how?
2. How to get rid of those annoying red lines (here they are the same as X and Y positive semi-axis)?
3. Where can I find 3DFACE and similar tools using UI? (AutoCAD 2012)

I need to paint the weights of two verts to cling to the middle back. These verts are on arrows that are stuck in a quiver. The quiver is painted to one back joint, as are the top of the arrows. However, the tips of the arrows are painted to the clavical.
I went into the component editor to try to weight them manually to the back, but in the CE, in smooth skins, they are weighted (1.0) to the clav. I know how to weight a vert to different bones if the CE lists them at the top, but since these verts are only weighted to the clav I don't have the option to set the clav weight to 0 and the back joint as 1. And, obviously, I don't know how to manually add the joint I need into the CE to weight it to 1 and kill the influence on the clav to 0.
I tried massively increasing my clip plane to zoom in, doesn't work. The paint weights brush just will NOT pick these verts up.

I have drawn an assembly of parts and now wish to line up the small hole in the large shell to the projecting pipe,i thought it would be a simple task of using mates (insert aligned) but this does not let me pick on the boundary of the small hole.

this might be a little specialized but i use corel generally to layout architectural drawings. I export them from autocad usually as a .pdf with a variety of different line weights, I notice its not the .pdf but corel tends distort or alter these line weights which typically undoes hours of hard work, is there a way to make these line weights transfer more smoothly to corel?

How to beef up my line weights when plotting. I am opening and plotting the same files as the previous drafts person but all my line weights are plotting the same. I am thinking that he had something set up in his profile that set the line weights when plotting??

I have noticed for many years (since ADT 2006...) that the OTB line weights seem to plot the same. For example, I don't notice much difference (actually none at all) on paper between A-Sect-Thin, A-Sect-Med, A-Sect-Fine, A-Dtl-Fine, etc... I have always remedied this by adjusting the Global Line weights, which I know is not optimal and I tell everybody else in my firm not to do it.
That being said, some of the more "seasoned" architects who are trying to use ACA are having trouble getting the line weights to print as they would have hand drawn them years ago. It has inspired me to take another stab at understanding this issue and trying to determine how it is intended to be used, and what I am doing wrong.
I have gotten the office to use the OTB - AIA LWT By Object.ctb, which I would assume coincides with the OTB AEC styles / objects. Can some one explain this to me or tell me where I am going wrong? I have the "Plot Object Lineweights" checked in the plot dialogue box, and honestly have checked and unchecked the "scale lineweights" box and notice no difference.

The line weights in the xref are as they should be - I can change the line weight (plot by layer/color) and it plots correctly; when I attached this file to another drawing, the line weights do not plot. I can change the layer color to modify the weight (.ctb file) and the correct line weight appears on the monitor, but when I plot - the line weight looks like a standard default width.
I checked the lwdefault in the xref and three other drawings, and in every drawing it is set to '25'; the lines are lines (not plines), and have a zero elevation. The units are the same as the other drawings;
I believe it's a setting in the drawing (not the xref) - what setting it might be.

So I'm doing an installation drawing for a piece of equipment and I'm having an issue. Let's say I model a cube, put it in a viewport at a isometric view in "hidden" visual style. Several of the edges are plotting significantly darker than other edges on the cube.

I am using 2008 and have been using AutoCAD for 25 years, so this is not me! Some months ago when plotting, all my plots started coming out very feint as if all the line weights were very thin - this just happened overnight. I couldn't sort this but I have an older pc using 2005 linked to my main one, and I could plot using this one as normal (I did try installing later versions on the main pc but all plots were the same). Now, the same thing seems to have happened with the older pc but in a different way, again overnight (last week all was well) - colours have altered slightly and line weights are all plotting as default. I haven't installed or uninstalled anything, nothing has changed.

Any way to build or download a linetype that can display as a thick dashed line surrounded by 2 parallel lines on either side of it?
We use them to denote underground stormwater pipes in our survey models.
Currently I need to manually set each line to a polyline, give it a global width, and then draw a DLINE of the same width from endpoint to endpoint. The down side is that not only is it laborious, I also have to set the Z values to zero, so we lose the elevation feature of the pipe in the model.
Ideally it would need to have enough functionality to alter the spacing of the dashes, and the width of the line.

I want to "remove line weights" when plotting. But I want to keep my title block wording and a certain text within the drawing dark or "thicker". What would be the greatest approach to this.

I’m a student in a land surveying program using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012. When I try to plot my DWG to a PDF my line weights are not plotting accordingly to the layers. For instance, Layer 1 is set at 0.7mm line weight, Layer 2 is set at 0.3mm but when it plots to PDF they all look similar. I have double checked the options on the plotting screen and I can get the line weights to plot correctly on different drawings with similar settings. I’m wondering if the issue has something to do with the fact that the particular lines that are not plotting accordingly are parcel segments.

A customer of ours sent us a drawing that has a TIF file attached to it. Inside the TIF all the objects appear red (we plot with a ctb) but no matter what we do, all the TIFs objects plot with really thick lineweight.
How can we make this print legibly?

After designing a simple 3d model, I can only get it to print right with 2d wireframe. Unfortunately, I don't want all the lines showing up, just the ones on top. I tried all the views, but only 2d wireframe works. Need lines, not concept or realistic shades.
