Line Weight

[MisterJingles]

Hi guys

 

I have just opened a drawing I am working on and a pile of my line weights are messed up. I have lines made up of different line segments and some of the segments have line weights changed while others not. Then certain blocks on the drawing have changed line weights.

Why would it do that on its own?

I worked on it this morning and it was fine.

 

Autocad did freeze up on me earlier which required me to restart my PC without saving, and this MAY have been one of the drawings I had open.

Could it be corrupt? Do these symptoms sound like it could be from that?

 

Regards

After restarting the computer and AutoCAD, re-open the drawing and see if the lineweights are still messed up.

 

If so, see what version(s) this drawing has com in contect with... If exported from a later version then you may have some AEC compatiblity issues.

CADMASTER - I have reopened the drawing this morning and no change. As I said, I had the drawing open a little while earlier and it was fine.

 

Any ideas?

You could try running the AUDIT command.

I don't understand why you would have lines made up of "segments" with different lineweights. Could you elaborate on this?

 

What is the current status of Show/Hide Lineweight?

i was thinking exactly the same remark

REMARK - Imagine an instance where you should use the Polyline command but instead use the Line command repeatedly. So your long line is a pile of objects.

While the method makes no sense, does the statement?

 

I went and manually changed each one this morning. I changed no settings that Im aware of and it was random objects and blocks which were affected.

Sounds like an exploded polyline? You could PEDIT and select all lines then JOIN to get them all into a single polyline again?
