LWEIGHT — Lineweight

Sets the lineweight of new objects.

• Command: LWEIGHT · Global name: _LWEIGHT · Alias: LW, LINEWEIGHT
• Ribbon: Home › Properties
• Menu: Format

Sets the lineweight of new objects with the Lineweight Settings dialog box, as in AutoCAD. From the command line use -LWEIGHT.

Usage

1. Enter LWEIGHT (or LW) or click Lineweight on the ribbon.
2. In the dialog box, choose one of the Lineweights:: ByLayer, ByBlock, Default or one of the standard lineweights.
3. Adjust, if you wish:

• Units for Listing: Millimeters (mm) or Inches (in) (LWUNITS variable).
• Display Lineweight: draws the lineweight on screen (LWDISPLAY variable, like LWDISPLAY).
• Default: the lineweight given to what is "default" (LWDEFAULT); plotting uses it too.

4. Click OK.

Notes

• There is no "Adjust Display Scale": the lineweight is drawn in pixels and has no scale of its own.
• The PROPERTIES palette changes the lineweight of the selected objects.
