SCohen Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I cannot get the line weights to display in model or paper space. I have tried almost everything I can think of or have read on the internet but as I am a new autocad user I know I am obviously doing something wrong. I did not start the drawing from scratch, I am adding on to an existing drawing. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Lineweights can be assigned within the Layer Properties Manager. To "see" these lineweights you must enable Lineweight Hide/Unhide. Should be an icon at the bottom of your screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCohen Posted August 7, 2009 Author Share Posted August 7, 2009 ReMark, The lineweight icon is on. I used blocks, could that have something to do with it? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Buzzard Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I cannot get the line weights to display in model or paper space. I have tried almost everything I can think of or have read on the internet but as I am a new autocad user I know I am obviously doing something wrong. I did not start the drawing from scratch, I am adding on to an existing drawing. Any suggestions? Try the variable LWDISPLAY Type: Integer Saved in: Drawing Initial value: 0 Controls whether the lineweight is displayed. The setting is saved with each tab in the drawing. 0 Lineweight is not displayed 1 Lineweight is displayed I am not sure if blocks have any effect on this, But its possible.

spittle Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Maybe your lineweights are all set to be the same, check layper properties manager. Or maybe check page setup and see what plot style .ctb file you're using and then check what lineweights your colours are set to be in your CTB file.

Kremer Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I know exploding blocks can often "expose" them to lineweights, though I couldn't tell you why. It's not so bad, because you can just update the block with the lineweights in effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
