Sets the current lineweight and lineweight units, controls the display and display scale of lineweights, and sets the DEFAULT lineweight value for layers.
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Lineweights
Displays the available lineweights.
Lineweight values consist of standard settings including BYLAYER, BYBLOCK, and DEFAULT. The DEFAULT value is set by the LWDEFAULT system variable, which has an initial value of 0.01 inches or 0.25 mm. All new layers use the default setting. The lineweight value of 0 plots at the thinnest lineweight available on the specified plotting device and is displayed at one pixel wide in model space.
Current Lineweight
Displays the current lineweight. To set the current lineweight, select a lineweight from the lineweight list and choose OK.
Units for Listing
Specifies whether lineweights are displayed in millimeters or inches. (LWUNITS system variable)
- Millimeters (mm)
-
Specifies lineweight values in millimeters. (LWUNITS system variable)
- Inches (in.)
-
Specifies lineweight values in inches. (LWUNITS system variable)
Display Lineweight
Controls whether lineweights are displayed in the current drawing. (LWDISPLAY system variable)
If this option is selected, lineweights are displayed in model space and paper space. Regeneration time increases with lineweights that are represented by more than one pixel. Lineweights are always plotted, even if they are not displayed.
Default
Controls the DEFAULT lineweight for layers. (LWDEFAULT system variable)
Adjust Display Scale
Controls lineweight scaling on the Model tab. This setting has no effect on layouts.
On the Model tab, lineweights are displayed in pixels. Lineweights are displayed using a pixel width in proportion to the real-world unit value at which they plot. If you are using a high-resolution monitor, you can adjust the lineweight display scale to better display different lineweight widths. The Lineweight list reflects the current display scale.
