Color and lineweight in Properties

In some drawing I checked the color and lineweight in the Properties but it says By Layer and By Block. How will i know the real color and lineweight? Thank you

Check the properties of the layer in the layer properties manager.

Assumes the user hasn't overridden either or both doesn't it?

No.

If it was overridden, it wouldn't have By Layer/ By Block in properties.

Assign a Default Color and Linetype to a Layer

Each layer has associated properties such as color, linetype, and transparency that are assumed by all objects on that layer when the setting is ByLayer. For example, if the Color control on the Properties toolbar is set to BYLAYER, the color of new objects is determined by the color setting for the layer in the Layer Properties Manager.

If you set a specific color in the Color control, that color is used for all new objects, overriding the default color for the current layer. The same is true for the Linetype, Lineweight, and Plot Style controls on the Properties toolbar.

The BYBLOCK setting should be used only for creating blocks. See Control the Color and Linetype Properties in Blocks.

very educational. thanks
