Why is it when I increase the lineweight, on the current layer, to a thicker lineweight from the default .25mm, it remains the same thickness/weight? I can change everything else, style, color, but not the weight. I need it to be a thick line, instead of the normal thin line.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI seem to be having trouble changing the lineweight of my profile line. I have changed the line weight in the layer properties, in the Profile properties and tried changed the line weight in the pen style. Everywhere I could think I try to make the line thicker but when I plot, the line is still the same and difficult to distinguish from the grid blocks of the profile view.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've seen umpteen explanations of how to change lineweights in Revit.None of them address this simple thing I'm trying to do.
I just want to:
1. Create a few lilnestyles that appear along side the other line styles - for instance:
Thin Line, Medium Line, Thick Line, <<Really Thick Line, >> <<Absurdly Thick Line,>> etc, etc..
2. Draw a line
3. Click on the line
4. Select from a drop down list, "Absurdly Thick Line" and have it instantly inherit the linestyle I created.
The only way I can do this is to create a family, make a new subcategory of Detail Items, create the characteristics I want in the line, export it as a .dwg file, then import it into Revit - and then I see the new line style along side the other line styles, and I can then select any line and make it the new line style.
Certainly, there is an easy to find, simple, straightforward way to add line styles to the existing group - and have those new line styles become immediately accessible from the "Modify Lines" Linestyle Drop down Menu.

I'm trying to make some style for number of areas and when I do hatch on a paper it's almost invisible because it's weight!
Tons of hatch patterns and they all useless!?
I also use SpaceClaim 3D.
Generated drawing and created dwg. file.
Drawing looks good in AutoCad LT on screen.
Print Preview shows very heavy lines for dimension lines.
Dimension layer shows "Default" line weight.
Both print preview and actual printing has very heavy line weights for Dimension lines.
Not sure what to do to correct.
Is there a way to export to pdf so that the lines match closer to the original drawing? I've tried using different pdf drivers, using trueview, exporting to a larger paper size (which improved output, but still not good enough). I know there has got to be a setting to increase the rasterization quality but the obvious ones don't work.
The firest image is an example section of the exported pdf and the second image is what it looks like opened in autocad.
I am aware some users like their lines very sharp and neat in the layout and make the line weight appear in the printing process.
However, I am wondering if I can see the the lines weight applied while drawing in AutoCAD. Is just I believe it will give a better "print preview" as I am working. It will be very annoying to keep going back to print layout to "hummm... How does the line look?"
PS: Yes, I know how to change the line weight.
I accidentally changed the line weight halfway through my drawing, and many of the lines are printing fat! I know about displaying them on screen, that is not my issue. The fatter lines are not specific to any layers, so in the layer dialogue box all line weights are listed as default. How can I change the lightweights after the fact, without redrawing the whole thing. Also, any line that I add to the drawing is still fat. I am using 2012 Autocad.

I've been working on a floor plan after which I wanted to mark the border of a particular area. So, I drew a polyline surrounding the space and used a 2 (inch?) lineweight. It appeared on my screen to be very thick so that was great. The problem is I can't seem to draw any other polyline without seeing this big thick line on my screen - even if the linewieght is set to something thinner. It still "shows up" huge. It's like my viewing setting is frozen to only show polylines real big.

When I'm copying a drawing from one dwg and pasting onto a new one the line weight or sizes are changing for some reason and when printing in A3 the drawing loses it's sharpness.
The strange thing is that when i look at the properties the line size and weight still appear to the same .
We have a few drawings where the line weights between paper space and model space vary on plots.i.e a line on Layer 1 in model space plots heavier/darker than a line on Layer 1 in paper space.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm doing some building drawings for Uni using AutoCAD 2010 and what is the best way (and process) to set line weights and types (dash, dot) for printing. What I’m currently doing doesn’t seem to be working and seems a bit inefficient.
The way I am doing it at the moment is that I have put all the various drawing elements on different layers with varying colours. I am then going through each layer in the layers dialog box and setting the line weight and line type as required.When in paper space or plotted the lines all come out solid/continuous and with same weight. (Note: I have used LTSCALE so that the dashes are viewable in model space). So here are the questions: Does the line weight and line type you set in the layer properties equal what should be printed? At the moment it does not for me. It is best to create all your layers and individually edit each layer for line weight and type, or is there a quicker way to assign line properties? I think I read that you could assign different properties to colours, but not sure what this means.

I have changed my project file settings to "Read-Write", I have tried this in both the Default Standard and my own standard. I changed the "Visible (ANSI)" Line Weight, saved it, then hit "Save" on the Styles and Standards bar. It works for a document. But when I open a new document, the line weight has reverted back to the old value.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to plot a line weight defined by a CTB Plot Style, but the weight will not show in AutoCAD or print.
Here's what I've done;
-Set the line weight in the Plot Style Table Editor, Color 9 @ 0.40mm. Grayscale has been turned on.(All other settings have been left as default)
-Tried various combos like;
-selecting "Display plot styles" & "Plot with Plot Styles" in pg setup
-selecting the "Plot object lineweights". (It also turns off "plot with plot styles" and prints in color (though grayscale is on)
-LWDISPLAY has bee turned on
-Neither model or paper space reflects the change.
-Line types work fine
-Changing the same line thru the Properties Manager does the trick, but I would like to set it up properly thru the Plot Style
Back Ground Info;
-Both the dwg file and Plot Style are new and created from scratch.
If it was a printer issue, it would still show in AutoCAD correctly, right? I've searched various help tools, but seem to be going in circles.

When I make changes to the "Visible" layer:
- the line colour changes come through both to screen and printer
- the line type only comes through to the screen, but not to the printer
- the line weight is ignored both by screen and printer
Tools - Application Options - Drawing - Display line weights
